Tracks: Future of EdTech Administrator

Technologies - be it the printing press, wheel, electricity, semiconductor, or internal combustion engine - always mark the borders between eras. Those who continue to hold onto technologies of a past era pay a very high price for their procrastination. In fact, many technology rollouts fail at a less-than-acceptable rate as new tools are combined with old thinking. This leads not only to failures, but also to waste. So how do we turn the tide? Join this session to understand the role that new pedagogy and new environments play when combined with technology for a new era of engaged, individualized, and future-ready learning. Armed with solid research, captivating stories, best practices, and a clear roadmap to the future, Bill Latham will reveal a whole new pathway - and profoundly human approach - to 21st Century teaching and learning.
