PETE & C 2018

Each year the state technology conference is in Hershey, Pennsylvania.  This year it was another excellent conference.  There was an endless list of opportunities to talk to teachers about how they were using technology in their classrooms and to listen to speakers (mostly teachers, tech coaches and some tech directors) about the ways in which they are integrating technology in their classrooms and districts.  I am proud to say that we had a fellow Colonial among the presenters this year.  Autumn Zaminski, a 4th grade teacher at CVIS did a teacher poster session about coding and she also collaborated with fellow teachers from other districts to present a workshop on variety of web 2.0 tools that are available to elementary teachers.  The great thing about Autumn's presentation was that the majority of the tools presented were tools that did not require students to set up accounts, only the teacher accounts had to be created and students could join, plus all were "FREE".  Congratulations to Autumn on a job well done at this years PETE & C.

Are you interested is a chance to attend PETE & C for 2019?  Every teacher who presents at this years R2R Tech Camp will receive a ticket for each presentation they give.  One lucky winner will be drawn out to attend PETE & C 2019.  Presenter registration is now open.  Click here to submit your request to give a presentation at our R2R Tech Camp.
