New and Emerging Technologies for NSPRA / OSBA Sponsored Event
October 12, 2008
A few weeks ago, Doug Jones, Abby Kelton, and I had the pleasure of presenting on New and Emerging Technologies at an event sponsored by the Ohio School Boards Association (OSBA) and National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA).
The response could not have been more positive:
“Very stimulating information that I’m ready to go back and try more!”
“Needed more time for this!”
“*** Could have an all-day follow up session.”
“Thank goodness – wish they had more time”
“Wow! Overwhelming – but necessary”
“Enlightening”
“** Awesome!”
The greatest part about speaking at events like this is feeding off of the energy of the crowd. We had an excellent, engaged audience that was embracing our topics.
Of course, we hit on all the usual suspects:
- The growth of technology
- Web 2.0 (The Machine is Us)
- Our Vision of the Role of Technology in Education
- Shared Services Model (Supporting Technology in Small Districts)
- Social Networking in Ohio Education Technology
- Workshop on Use of Web 2.0 Tools in Education
My next presentation will be in Columbus, OH on October 15 at 12:00pm at the Ohio Association of Public Charter Schools on the topic: Technology Partnerships for 21st Century Schools.
The description is as follow:
An effective technology program is integral to preparing today’s students with 21st century skills. Yet, the components of a strong technology department – including E-rate expertise, networking, desktop maintenance, budgeting, curriculum integration, and professional development – are difficult to provide in-house, given budgetary constraints. This presentation will provide charter school leaders with an introduction to the shared services model of technology management and its benefits of increased technology service, stabilized technology budgets, and enhanced technology integration in the classroom.
If you would like me or our team to speak at any event (free of charge of course!), please e-mail me at njulka@smartsolutionsonline.com.
