We are excited about this year's Technology Cafe and hope to see you there!
What can I expect to see? You will find 12 demonstration booths hosted by district students, teachers, and staff showing how they incorporate technology in their classrooms. Here is just a taste of some of the tools and activities you will be able to sample: - Interactive whiteboards and student response devices
- iPad Petting Zoo

Will there be any instructional sessions?
