June 12-13, 2013
Westwood High School
180 Turkey Farm Road, Blythewood, SC
Registration is now open for everyone. Go to the SC Midlands Summit page and click on registration for details.
We are also looking for presenters. Do you have what it takes? Are you trying new technology rich activities with your students that you can share? Do you have ideas on how to make technology professional development meaningful for your faculty and staff? Have you unlocked the key to assessment with technology tools? Are your students flipping over your 'flipped classroom?' If you answered yes to any of these questions and want to share with your fellow educators, submit a proposal today!
Proposals for session and workshop presentations will be considered for inclusion in the program if they are received by midnight EST on Thursday, February 28, 2013. Notifications of acceptance or regret will be e-mailed on or before March 28, 2013. The main presenter will receive a complimentary registration (workshop fee excluded). Apply to present today!
Have you seen the list of keynote/featured speakers? I think there is a little of something for everyone.
