 =Pensylvania Education and Technology Conference is something that we as Tech teachers try to attend and take willing teachers to each year. This year two classroom teachers attended along with the Tech Director and tech teachers. We will use this page to place links, ideas etc from the sessions that we attended. = = = =We will list the sessions by category below along with the link to the presenter's materials. Each presenter organized their material in different ways. Some made wikis, some made PowerPoints, etc. You will need to visit each link and sift through some of the material to find what works for you. Since this can be overwhelming, we suggest that you explore one topic at a time. Remember, you can always come back at a later date (such as over the summer) to learn more. =
