This summer was full of many awesome opportunities to learn new tech skills. Notably, we hosted our 2014 Digital Learning Conference (DLC) on July 30-31 at Cypress-Woods HS. Presenters ranged from local, district "techsperts" to more broadly known #edtech superstars who got teachers fired up about cutting edge tech integration tools. The over 600 participants came from all campuses and grade-levels within our district, but we also had a healthy turn-out of participation from districts in our area like Klein ISD, Spring Branch ISD, Navasota ISD, Coldsprings-Oakhurst Consolidated ISD, and even a few private schools.
We were fortunate enough this year to have been able to bring in some high profile presenters: Brad Waid and Drew Minock were crowd pleasers with their sessions on Augmented Reality and cool Web 2.0 Apps to use in the classroom; Todd Nesloney and his TechNinja crew got teachers excited about flipping their classrooms and adopting innovative teaching practices; Matt Gomez brought teachers to the Twittersphere with his Twitter 101 session as well as showed some awesome websites for tech integration; and finally, Randy Rogers covered several topics during his sessions, including Web 2.0, BYOD/BYOT, and most impressively, coding resources for students.
Our Instructional Technology team did a great job with the help of several district groups like Cypress-Ranch and Cypress-Woods Key Clubs and the administrative and custodial staffs at Cypress-Woods HS, who helped get our classrooms ready and were more than accommodating hosts.
We can't wait to see you all again next summer at our 2015 Digital Learning Conference to be held July 28-29, 2015. If you're interested in presenting at the conference, check the eConnection for the call to present and upcoming registration dates.
