The purpose of the session is to share our journey and resources with other digital leaders who are passionate about igniting the digital learning movement within their school and/or district. Participants will understand how/and or be able to replicate and lead these initiatives on their own. Our success with this movement within our district can be measured both quantitatively and qualitatively. There was no structure or existence to the instructional technology department prior to this. There were also no similar in-district opportunities for educators to grow their capacity and leadership with technology.
