#TechToberFest13 is Alive!

I have never planned a massive educational technology conference but decided this would be a good year to do it.  If you have not heard, October 10, 2013 is professional development day for all Lancaster City Schools teachers.  The teachers will be meeting at Lancaster for a day full of sessions focused on innovative uses of technology to improve teaching and learning.  Our students will be of school in observance of the Fairfield County Fair.

I have always wanted to bring a session-driven, #edtech topic day to all my teachers.  This will be our own mini-eTech (State of Ohio Educational Technology Conference) day.  I decided to take it a step further, however.  I thought to myself, why not invite other teachers and business people from around the state to the event to present or to attend?  After months of work, I have finally released the schedule of sessions and I have opened it up to anyone to attend, for FREE!.  

To view the TechToberFest registration website, visit http://lancaster-city-school-district.ennect.com/events/techtoberfest13.  You should review the Schedule Tab before you go through the registration process.  I will stop registrations when the sessions have maxed out.  

There are 70 sessions to choose from but sessions are filling up fast.  Please consider coming for a day full of the sharing of best practices in educational technology.  After all, the price is right.

Just a few more details.  Lunch is on your own.  I tried to get this provided by several vendors but could not swing it.  Also, beware of the Fairfield County Fairgrounds.  Traffic will be heavy in that area.
