The Ohio ETC is the combination of OLN/OhioLINK/OARnet conference and the eTech Ohio conference -- coming together this year for the first time. There are many sessions directed towards higher education that shouldn't be missed and opportunities to network with counterparts in primary and secondary education. The Ohio Educational Technology Conference has published its program guide for its annual meeting February 1 through 3, 2010 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. With over 300 concurrent sessions, 225 exhibitors, and acclaimed keynote and featured speakers (Adora Svitak and David Weinberger among them), it is sure to be a great event.
Registration is available on the eTech Ohio website. While there, also sign up for a "Hall Pass" that will enable you to create your own personal itinerary in the Ohio ETC Conference Planner. (Tip: when registering for a Hall Pass and are prompted for an Organization Category, select "Other" then select "College/University" under the Organization Type heading.)
This year is the first year of an exciting new conference mission -- one that includes primary, secondary, higher education, and adult career center participants all in the same meeting. That mission is reflected in the theme of the conference: P-20 Conversations: Shaping a Path for the 21st Century Student. Highlighted below are events that might be of particular interest to higher education faculty and staff, and you are encouraged to view the entire conference planner for other sessions of interest. As you read through the descriptions, look for the "BYOT" sessions; these are "Bring-Your-Own-Tools" -- 90-minute hands-on sessions where presenters teach attendees on their own tools.
