This is our first feature post for ‘09 and boy have we got an event for you! This is one NOT to be missed! The ITSC is for both IT Professionals and Educators. It’s your chance to become truly immersed in what is said to be the most exciting Professional Development event of the year… and it’s coming to a town near you!
Go beyond spreadsheets and word processing to truly engage your students. Today’s technology has made it so simple to create rich multimedia content. The ITSC conference provides yet another (besides Beyond Chalk) opportunity to learn from the 
experts.
The different Streams allow you to immerse yourself in whatever field is of particular interest to you. For example: Digital Literacy includes sessions on Podcasting (Introduction and Advanced), Blogs and Digital Portfolios. There’s even a session on Web 2.0 in the classroom!
The Leadership Stream includes sessions Engaging Your Community and Teacher Professional Development and more…
Other streams include Fundamentals & Media literacy.
