Ignite "Unconference"
Ignite: Get Switched On to Technology is an “unconference” that puts the learner at the heart.

Individuals attending this year's Ignite will let their feet do the talking, attending sessions based on their own interests and needs. Sessions are fast-paced and showcase some of the newest classroom-ready technology tools. You’ll learn practical and current technologies taught by local College of Education technology experts as well as current-service PK-12 teachers.
