The School District of Palm Beach County 2010 Technology Conference: Building a Connected Learning Community sticky icon

The School District of Palm Beach County is proud to announce that the 2010 Technology Conference will be held on Friday, March 26th, 2010 at Santaluces Community High School.

Applications to attend the conference are now open!

Technology has the capacity to connect learning in many different ways. Whether you are helping a student make connections to a topic using hands-on technology projects, showing students how math and science effect their everyday lives, or how you can use modern communication tools to connect with others around the world, technology can plan a critical role in making those connections.

Applications to Present are still open!

One of the unique aspects of our conference is found in the numbers of classroom teachers and practioners who present every year. We know that the best ideas for using technology come from our own teachers and staff, and we want to hear from you.

The application to present is now available and will remain open until February 15, 2010. But don't delay! As always there are incentives for applying early. See more details on the Application to Present page.
