Claire Duvall first attended the annual LEARN-IT Conference as a graduate student in the Department of Educational Technology, Research and Assessment.
Now Duvall is the department’s online program support specialist – and the coordinator of the event that this year will feature eye-tracking devices, Lego robotics, makerspaces and more.
Scheduled from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 5, in the Learning Center of Gabel Hall, the conference provides more than 100 Instructional Technology generalists and in-service teachers from P-12 school districts in the region with a day of workshops, training activities and research roundtables that help them master technology to enhance learning for all students.
Attendees explore tools and strategies for integrating technology for learning and assessment in meaningful ways. They also can experiment with the tools and technologies in a hands-on environment.
The goal remains simple: to help educators transform the teaching-and-learning environment with “low-cost, high-impact” technologies that facilitate meaningful learning.
Robots and AR and Games! Oh My!
