FIRST ANNUAL DISD I/O ED TECH CONFERENCE! ONLINE REGISTRATION NOW OPEN
Come and join us at Dumas High School on August 12, 2016 for our first ever I/O Ed Tech Conference! This will be an all-day event with sessions presented by your fellow DISD teachers and staff. Teachers may peruse the full program with session descriptions at http://bit.ly/TechConfProgram to choose their classes before completing the online registration at http://disdtech.com/events/. While attendance at the conference is required for all DISD certified staff, teachers can customize their schedule by choosing those sessions that will be most useful or interesting to them.
Session sizes are limited so registration will be "first come - first served". Log on today and check out the variety of learning opportunities and get your registration in as quickly as possible! Be sure to wear your staff ID badge for the day of the conference as you will receive a conference badge that will fit in your DISD ID holder. Your conference badge will have a code so that you can be scanned in at each session to document your attendance. It will also have a copy of your schedule for the day. Lunch will be "on your own" for the day of the conference. We look forward to seeing you all at our first I/O Conference! Please contact your campus principal, Michael Keough or Rhonda Artho if you have questions or want to check whether you are required to attend or not.
NOTE: Please bring a Chromebook, laptop or tablet to the conference so you can participate fully in the sessions.
