Scott Nierendorf presented on emerging technology tools for educators to enhance education. The goals were to learn about new tech tools from other educators, see the range of applications and their costs and resources, and try hands-on experiences. Educators were encouraged to identify at least one tool to explore further in their district. CREC also provides initiatives and services in technology. The presentation highlighted sharing information with colleagues, students and administrators through tools like websites, social media, and slideshows.
