CTO SYMPOSIUM - AT TIES CONFERENCE

[Mary Mehsikomer]

Hi Everyone:

 

We have a unique opportunity at the TIES Conference 2011 this year. On Sunday, December 11, CoSN will offer a CTO symposium for school district technology leaders. We’ve talked about this at MEMO Tech SID meetings several times before and how this would be so helpful to anyone who is in a leadership position or who wants to strengthen their ability to be in a leadership position in your district.

 

Please consider this exciting offer – if you are attending the TIES Conference anyway, this is a great way to start out your experience.

CoSN CTO Leadership Symposium: Using Technology to Reimagine Learning

Sheryl Abshire, Calcasieu Parish Public Schools, LA; Hilary LaMonte, CoSN; Michael Jamerson, Bartholomew Consolidated Schools, IN; Tim Wilson, Osseo Schools

Designed for school district leaders, this full-day leadership symposium explores the role of leadership in transforming learning. Mobile devices and Web 2.0 participatory applications have become a pervasive feature of modern life in the past few years, yet our educational system is still based on an outdated industrial age model. Learn about a series of tools and resources that CoSN has developed that help you understand the skills educational and education technology leaders need to reimagine learning. Hear how some school districts are rethinking their acceptable use policies and allowing students to bring their own devices to school. See how social networking can be used to rethink professional development with online communities of practice. Join us for this exploration of how technology enables a more participatory style of learning and what is your role as an educational leader in making it happen. CoSN is the national professional association for school district technology leaders/CTOs.   Intermediate / Bring your own laptop / $180
