The conference Reaching and Teaching Gifted Learners Through Technology will take place August 9, 2022 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Mid-Ohio ESC. The conference will be led by Stephanie Howell. Ms. Howell is the CEO of Gold EDU, a Google for Education Partner, a founder of Global GEG, and the EdTech Lead for Pickerington Local Schools. She is key to the embedding and implementation of EdTech tools across her schools and organizations. Recently she was named by EdTech Magazine as one of the Top 30 IT Influencers in the US for 2022.
The conference will help educators provide quality educational experiences to gifted learners through technology and to provide personalized learning experiences for students. With guidance and support from experienced professionals, educators will make some resources for the classroom. Attendees of the conference will receive 5 gifted PD hours. Registration is $25 for those from client districts and $40 for those from non-client districts. Register at www.moesc.net/register.
