TechConnect 2012 Conference Announcement and Registration Information Note: Please do not cross post. Thursday, February 9th. (Snow Date: Friday, February 10th) 8:00 am to 3:00 pm Colby College, Waterville, Maine Dear Technology Integrators, TechConnect is an opportunity for Technology Integrators across the state to informally gather and connect for a day. For the second year, Tech Connect will be held at Colby College with support from ACTEM and Colby's Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs and Civic Engagement. Made possible by Tech Integrators attending regional meetings, TechConnect is a grassroots effort designed to embrace a broader field of like-minded people to share with one another, learn from each other, and most importantly, support one another. Our day includes a morning session with Colby professor, Dr. D. Whitney King. Dr. King will share his expertise of geotagging using Google tools and his collaborative work with students on behalf of community partners. We'll also have the chance to hear from Colby Integrators. A few Colby students who attended Maine high schools have also agreed to share their MLTI/1-1 middle and high school experiences. Portions of the conference will follow an “unconference” model. Please come prepared to participate by sharing something that is going well at your school or something that you would like help with. You may also want to share a tool or resource at our technology “Geek of the Week” session. There is no fee or charge to attend the conference. Lunch and snacks will be provided by the Goldfarb Center. Contact Hours are available. This year we're adding door prizes thanks to generous support from ACTEM. Driving directions, building and room details, as well as parking information will be sent in an e- mail to attendees when finalized. In the event of a snow day, registrants will be notified by e-mail. The link to register is: http://bit.ly/techconnect2012 Thank you for your interest interest in TechConnect 2012!
