Jennifer Womble on Edtech Trends from FETC Speaker Submissions
More than Cool: FETC's Discussions on EdTech with Leading Educators
EdTech is about engaging today's students, who have grown up in the modern world of information technology. This can be challenging for educators, who need to keep up-to-date about technology integration skills, resource information, differentiated instructional strategies, and curriculum ideas for the modern classroom. Each year, FETC receives over 1,500 proposals from educators on what they feel is important for their colleagues to know. Last year, games, 3D Printing, platforms, and professional development were all hot topics. What did FETC learn this year? Jennifer Womble will discuss what seems to be hot this year, and will be listening to additional feedback from attendees on what they are most interested in learning.
Jennifer Womble is responsible for oversight of all content and presentations for the Future of Education Technology Conference (#FETC), developing innovative #edtech events and hands-on experiences to engage audiences and promote learning experiences. She implements activities and practices for successful event session presentations and educational technology workshops, and is building an educational technology community through social media to enable administrators, IT Directors and educators to collaborate. Her mission is to develop the highest quality professional development for education in the technology space.
