Welcome to the Next Generation of Educational Technology!
Where do we go from here? A post-COVID-19 guide to new trails in Technology
The Educational Technology for Schools Conference (ETSC) offers an engaging and informative experience for instructional practitioners of all kinds who are interested in incorporating technology into their teaching practices. It also provides a platform for our graduate students to showcase their research and expertise while supporting the professional development of educators. The ETSC focuses on the latest trends, tools, and strategies related to technology in education, with talks and discussions on topics such as AI in schools, gamification, and online assessments in the classroom, with a particular focus on what technology integration looks like after the shift to emergency remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The conference is free to everyone.
Each professional development session will be held online via Zoom and will be 20 minutes long with five minutes for Q&A.
