The Future-Ready Challenge
The theme this year is Tech Fiesta - Nacho Average Tech Conference. For competition this year, we are going to have a chips and dip/salsa showcase, so get your best recipe ready and don't be afraid to bring the heat! Prizes will be awarded to first, second, and third place winners! Also, this PD opportunity can count as a flex day for the 2019-20 school year.
Also, the door prizes are racking up! We have gift cards galore (including a spa package), $100 classroom supply money, premium memberships to tech tools, and an iPad, with many more to come!
Registration is first come, first serve, so go ahead and get signed up. We have already opened registration to educators outside of DeKalb County Schools.
Here is a preview of some of the breakout sessions that will be offered...
- Google Classroom
- Google Forms
- Creating with Chromebooks
- GAFE for Littles - How Early Elementary Students Can Use Google Apps for Education!
