A New Year Begins-Looking Back and Moving On
A new school year has arrived, with all of the excitement and some apprehension that each new year brings. NPAECT is embarking on a new year also. We have had some initial planning sessions, and our new President, Robert LaPlaca, and others will be posting information here as the year progresses. It looks like an exciting year ahead for NPAECT, and we hope that more people will come along with us as we explore the ways that Communications and Technology can enhance learning for of us.
Looking back over 2007-2008, NPAECT made some changes and started some new opportunities. Our dinner/sharing meetings were held at IU5 in Edinboro which seems to be more central and helped to increase attendance. We will continue to hold the dinner/sharing meetings there in November and in March. Watch for more information about those meetings as the dates approach.
We held our first-ever full day conference and had about 50 participants. Very positive comments were provided to us about the conference, so that will be continued this year on October 18th, with some exciting additions to the conference choices.
Our website was given a major update, becoming more interactive and informative for our members. It is the place to come for the most current information about NPAECT and its programs.
The Tech Fair and Student Showcase once again provided opportunities to showcase the projects being done by students in the classrooms of our region. The venue will change for the event this year, but the focus will remain on spotlighting the many technology-rich learning activities going on in classrooms throughout our area.
So, please watch this site for announcements and commentary on the use of technology in education. To the other officers and involved members of NPAECT who helped so much during my term as President, I want to say “thanks” and I look forward to what we have planned for 2008-2009. -Connie Sitterley, NPAECT Past President
