Tech Feast is DEAD! Welcome W.E.13!

| |
Coming to Woodridge School District 68 on December 13th, 2013!


What once was our one-day technology inservice, Tech Feast, is now re-branded as W.E. 13: We Engage 2013!  

For the last few months, I have been brainstorming to reinvigorate our December tech feast day into an event that showcases the extreme talent we have in our district. The event will have sessions on tech integration as well as non-tech related best practices used to implement our FOCUS and the ATP. Every session will have explicit connections to one of the 4 C's of 21st Century learning and at least one of the letters of the FOCUS acronym.  We are going beyond learning about tech tools and incorporating strategies for boosting Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity for all students in your classroom!


I encourage you to watch the teaser trailer video below and sign up to present at this event!  To all District 68 administrators and staff: You have ideas worth sharing!  Help make this event a success by signing up to be a one-hour presenter at W.E. 13!  

Sign up information is located on THIS GOOGLE FORM.  Sign up by Nov. 1st to solidify your spot as a presenter at W.E. 13.  Presenters will meet with me for two half-days (one in the beginning of November, and one towards the end) to discuss planning and presentation strategies! 





We Engage 13's theme is the Control Shift.  Here's the idea behind it with a quote from Alan Novembers book, Empowering Students With Technology:
