I am looking forward to TRETC 2023. https://www.pghtech.org/events/TRETC_2023 It is great to be attending more face to face conferences again. I have served on the TRETC planning committee for several years and this is one of my favorite conferences because it is local, I get to connect with so many teachers from the area, celebrate the outstanding Pittsburgh ED TECH companies, and learn about new tools and opportunities.

If you are attending, I hope you will participate in the GooseChase https://www.goosechase.com/ activity (PRIZES!) and join attendees in creating a Sticktogether https://letsticktogether.com/ Pixel Art Poster. (Enter to win a PIXEL POSTER for your school) and see how both of these activites can be used in your classrooms and how they are fantastic for community building.

There will be a great DOOR PRIZE at the event donated by PADCASTER. Fill out a ticket at registration. If you use ipads in your school and your students create content with morning announcements or recording events, you will love this equipment. Check out this case study on my school. https://youtu.be/H-_MSA0QXBc Ask me anything about Padcaster!

Also I will be leading a Birds of Feather Sessions with Colleen Hinrichsen and Anna Blake.

Birds of a Feather Group:
Primary Educators (K-6)

Questions to guide discussion: 
What initiatives are you really proud of at your district? 
Share something that currently working and brining results with student learning? 
What changes will define the next 5-10 years of education? 
What is not working at your district? 
What are you looking to change? 
What do you want to know more about?

Hope to see many of you at the Conference on Monday!
