Digital learning is at the forefront of every conversation about the future of education and is a crucial component to facilitate student achievement. On Thursday, March 3, at the Princeton Marriott at Forrestal, NJSBA will host an interactive training program with a variety of sessions covering the most pressing school technology challenges districts are facing.
The conference will include a variety of breakout sessions, and a networking lunch, offering an opportunity to participate in roundtable discussions on hot topics in digital learning. The program runs from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with continental breakfast and registration starting at 8:30 a.m. This program offers four Board Member Academy credits.
The day will include a keynote speech by Travis Allen, the founder and CEO of the iSchool Initiative.
“At this year’s Tech Conference, school leaders will have the opportunity to hear this dynamic young man share his insight and vision for digital learning,” said Dr. Lawrence S. Feinsod, NJSBA executive director. “Travis is a true innovator, who will have a lasting impact on educational technology. I see him as a future Bill Gates or Steve Jobs.”
Travis Allen is the CEO of the iSchool Initiative and has presented in more than 40 states and seven countries, allowing him to reach an audience of more than 200,000 people. He has been featured on CNN, Huffington Post and in Forbes magazine.
Coming along for the ride, Travis is bringing his 38-foot Digital Learning Revolution Tour bus. Attendees will have the opportunity to get onboard this mobile classroom and see the potential of technology in education first hand.
