Minnesota CoSN CTO Clinic

[Mary Mehsikomer]

Hi Everyone:

For the first time, the TIES 2016 Conference will feature an opportunity for district technology leaders and technology staff to gather for a day of collaborative learning. Today’s education technology leaders need knowledge in both the technical and instructional implementation of technology in schools. CoSN and our newly created Minnesota CoSN Chapter are partnering on this one-day clinic where you will learn about and discuss issues centered on privacy and security in our schools and how these issues impact education.

This is a great opportunity for you and your colleagues around the state and region to take advantage of exemplary professional learning and valuable networking. Join the conversation with other K–12 technology leaders and share new ideas, best practices and solutions to the challenges we all face in planning for, implementing and evaluating education technology.


EYES WIDE OPEN: DIGITAL PRIVACY, SECURITY
AND CITIZENSHIP IN SCHOOLS
