NECC 09 and the ITRT Pavilion
NECC 2009 is just around the corner, this year in Washington D.C. starting on June 28th. I’ll be there and am very excited to be going this year
In addition, I’m involved in helping to create a “pavilion” that showcases Virginia’s ITRT Program. This pavilion is being created by the Virginia Society for Technology in Education and will be part presentation area and part relaxation station.
People can come here to learn exactly what an Instructional Technology Resource Teacher does in their job in the state of Virginia. It turns out that Virginia is the only state that mandates that schools have technology support personnel for every 1000 students. In my case, working in a small school division with roughly 2000 students, we have 2 ITRTs.
For more infor on the ITRT Pavilion, there’s the NECC 2009 Program page on “lounges and playgrounds,” and also on the VSTE Ning social networking site. Finally, John Hendron did created a nice podcast with two of the people on the pavilion committee, Laura Briggs and Sharon McGlone. Have a listen and please come by the pavilion if you’re attending NECC this year.
Hope to see you there!
