The application to present at GaETC is now open! Be sure to keep the deadline in mind while preparing, as it's different than past years. April 1, 2016 is deadline for both pre-conference workshop and concurrent session proposals.

If you're interested in presenting at GaETC but aren't sure how to begin with the proposal, Kennesaw State iTeach is here to support you! The Instructional Technology Department will pay for your registration to attend this workshop taking place at KSU on March 19. Sign up below!

In Fulton County, we're doing things right! The Office of Educational Technology released its National Education Technology Plan in December 2015, and it details the vision for using technology to support learning. Read the introduction below and then take a peek at the entire plan.

Thank you for doing the work you're doing to make this happen!

In May we'll be celebrating the great work that has been completed by our Vanguard team members throughout the year. But first, we need some categories! Using the Padlet page linked below, share your ideas, serious and/or funny! As long as it's work appropriate, the suggestion is welcome! Once we've determined our categories, we'll start accepting nominees!

To make a suggestion, put your suggested category on the title line and your name below it!

Thank you to everyone who has already posted a reflection for February. Be sure to get yours posted by the end of the month!
