innovate (impact) 2017

Just registered for the Innovate conference at OSU!

It is shaping up to be a day to explore technology advancements and approaches for teaching and learning. Might as well keep up with technological methods as a way to enhance learning inside and outside of the classroom. Perhaps the use of technology can help students better engage with material while building technological proficiency that will increase their preparedness for their prospective workplaces and beyond. The thing I'm most curious to discover is how technology can help further the arts and art education as a vital and necessary part of education and economic viability.

The keynote speaker sounds so interesting as well!
