KTI Networking Event
You probably have KTI's in your building and CLIU is hosting a Keystone Technology Innovator/Integrator Networking Event!
On May 1, 2015 from 8:00-3:00 we are inviting ALL Keystones past and present to come together for a day of professional learning and networking.
There will be an opening speaker and concurrent sessions running throughout the day. Topics include things such as Augmented Reality, Flipped/Blended Learning, GAFE, Digital Storytelling and more.
The cost is 20.00 per attendee and includes lunch.
The Keystone program began in 2004. Initially called Keystones: Technology Integrators, the program name changed to “Technology Innovators” to reflect the changes in classroom instruction. To date, over 2000 Pennsylvania educators have been identified as “Keystones: Technology Integrators.”

Content Networking 2015-2016
The 2014-15 Content Networking Groups had a very productive year. Teachers were updated on relevant initiatives, created assessment items, shared ideas and resources, and collaborated on solving challenges. The highlight for everyone is the opportunity to talk with teachers from other districts. The dates for 2015-16 are available on the Content Networking Wiki.
Also coming in 2015-16 is an opportunity for Reading Specialists to participate in the Language and Literacy Teachers Networkshops. These sessions are for ESL teachers and Reading Specialists only to work together and in job-alike groups to tackle issues unique to their roles. See the special flyer for dates.
