Online learning from T+L

BoardBuzz is excited to announce two online discussions that will take place during the T+L Conference in Seattle. These hot topic discussions are sure to get tongues wagging (or fingers typing, at least), so be sure to tune in!

It?s not all fun and games! How schools can harness educational games for learning

It?s no secret that kids love video games. And even an recent article in the New York Times has highlighted the advantages that some games can present. But how can your school district find the best way to use these games? Log in and learn from expert Julie Evans, CEO of Project Tomorrow, the educational benefits of using gaming in the classroom. Submit your questions now for this online discussion which will take place during NSBA?s T+L Conference, October 28, 1:00 p.m. PT.

Yours, Mine, and Ours Ways school districts can make it work with students? personal technology devices

With all the talk of one-to-one computing, school districts are working hard to find ways to put technology in every student?s hands. Why not let students use their own devices ? laptops, ipods, voice recorders ? in school to enhance their learning? Kathy Rains, Director of Technology, in the Madison (AL) City Schools will discuss the ups and downs, the challenges and opportunities, of these options and how school districts can make it work. Leave a question for Kathy or tune in live on Wednesday, October 29 at 1:00 p.m. PT.

And don't forget, we'll be on the west coast, so be sure to tune in during Pacific Time. We hope to see you (and your questions) there!
