Dallas, Texas -- National School Boards Association. This unique conference is designed to highlight the many effective ways to improve school performance and student achievement through the wise use of technology across instructional, administrative, and parental-outreach applications.
Details
NSBA's T+L Conference takes place at the Dallas Convention Center, Nov. 8-10, 2006. The Technology Leadership Network Site Visit and Pre-conference workshops take place Tuesday, Nov. 7. A fitting venue, Dallas is where the first T+L Conference was held 20 years ago. In fact, the conference was held in that city for its first eight years and has since returned in 1996, 1999, and 2002. T+L, which stands for Technology + Learning, explores how new technology tools are effectively used across a district in classrooms, administrative applications, parental engagement, and community outreach to improve student achievement.
