TECHSPO 2009 is a unique state-of-the-art conference presented by the New Jersey Association of School Administrators (NJASA), designed specifically for all educators and their communities. The two-day conference will feature 50 group sessions and action labs that will present data, knowledge and materials to complement the school curricula through the use of educational technology in the classroom environment.
This year’s conference will be held at Bally’s Atlantic City on January 29-30, 2009 and will feature two dynamic keynote speakers, award-winning futurist and author Dr. David Thornburg and internationally acclaimed speaker, writer, and educator Marc Prensky, respectively.
Imagine this moment in your life as chief educational officer. A skeptical school board member, prospective parent, or local public official visits one of the schools in your district and, after a tour in which you point out the wonderful new computers, scanners, digital cameras, and other technology which your district has acquired over the past few years, says to you, "You've clearly made a tremendous investment in technology. How do you know this investment will pay off in terms of student learning?" This topic will be covered, among others, over the two-day event.
Other focus areas will include how educational technology can improve academic achievement, the best tools to use, and establish a dialogue as to how technology can be used to benefit New Jersey school districts and students.
As we enter a new year, changes in educational technology are occurring much more rapidly than ever before. While technological innovations bring many benefits, there is little argument that they add to the complexity of our educational world and increase the skill level every student needs.
