For any tech initiative to not just survive but thrive, IT and curriculum
leaders must share the same goals. Tech & Learning Live Boston
<https://www.techlearninglive.com/techlearninglive/home> will focus on the
question: “*Curriculum & IT: Can This Marriage Be Saved?*”. This one-day
conference for school leaders will address this issue through workshops,
demonstrations, and panel discussions that can help both sides better
understand each other’s challenges, improve collaboration, and support a
district’s instructional goals through powerful uses of technology.
In a recent report by Innovative Educator Lisa Nielsen’s The Innovative
Educator <https://theinnovativeeducator.blogspot.com/>, she writes,
“Successful adoption of technology into the curriculum requires a happy
marriage between curriculum and technology. There are four key components
that can lead to a successful marriage: active engagement, group
participation, frequent interaction and feedback, and connection to
real-world experts. The key to staying out of divorce court is remembering
that it’s not about technology. It’s about learning. These are not tech
programs. They are learning programs. We don’t want tech committees. We
want learning committees. (Read Lisa’s full report HERE

.)
At Tech & Learning Live Boston
<https://www.techlearninglive.com/techlearninglive/home>, you won’t just
dive into this question through high-level conversations with your peers.
You’ll walk away with specific strategies and techniques you can put into
action right away to help your school’s marriage between curriculum and IT
not just survive, but thrive.
*Highlights of the day include:*
- Keynote by the always-entertaining Carl Hooker

you can discuss the challenges of your specific role ad brainstorm with
your colleagues.
- Learn about and test drive some of the latest edtech tools for K-12
through new hands-on workshops & demonstrations.
- In the closing session where we’ll bring it all together: what lessons
have you learned today and how can you better collaborate with all school
communities? What action items can you put into place right away, and what
longer-term plans can help your school improve teaching and learning
through better collaboration?
- Plus: plenty of opportunities to network with your peers.
