Are educators and technologists prepared for an onslaught of next-gen students who make the term “digital native” seem tame? How can we meet the unprecedented technology expectations of these learners. Or, will we merely be pandering to a generation that expects higher learning to be a video game? Come join our “shootout” panel of technologists and educators as they grapple with the possibilities. Panel debate will be prefaced by Project Tomorrow’s Julie Evans, presenting a brief overview of the landmark Speak Up national research project that has polled over 1.1 million K-12 students about their use of technology for learning. Don’t miss an eye-opening event that will help you cull through the hype and build realistic, cost-effective five-year plans!
