Letter from President


Letter from NCTIES President 2009

Wow, what an Extreme Makeover for the 2009 NCTIES Conference this past March at the new Raleigh Convention Center! We are still continuing with our remodeling and we are ready to embark on the next journey for our organization. Over the past months, we have continued to plan next year’s conference, which is set for March 3-5. This conference will once again push NC Educators into a new technology journey for our students. We are very excited about the awesome changes in this upcoming adventure.

Take note of our new website (www.ncties.org) which includes the new details about our conference. We will have a different schedule for the conference that includes lunch on Thursday with your paid registration. It will be a journey of new discoveries and we need your help! What new adventures are you taking every day with technology in education? Do you have something to share at NCTIES? Please plan to submit a call to present so you can be included as a concurrent presenter or maybe present for a poster session.

Has your journey taken you into Second Life™ and you want to learn more? Join me, EJ Escobar, on a trek to discover the new, exciting places that NC has to offer in Second Life™.

If you have been waiting for that little push to try something new, well here it is. PUSH! Take your professional development to the next level of adventure. Surprise your students, your school and your districts by pushing forward with technology integration. Join me in the push by connecting via twitter (ellenj1971), Second Life™ (EJ Escobar) and feel free to invite me on your journey.

Let’s push technology in NC education like a run away train that breaks all barriers.
