Technology Council
About the Technology Council
Periodically, the technology coordinators and technology representatives for the school districts are invited to attend a Technology Council meeting at the IU1 administration offices. This provides a central communication spot for the coordinators. The purpose of these meetings is to discuss mutual items of interest, state initiatives, breaking technology and have an opportunity to network.
We also invite a provider of technology to speak on areas of interest to the Council. This provides an opportunity for education in new technologies for the attendees as well as free time to ask questions of the provider regarding support and services they offer.
Individuals interested in attending, or presenting to, the Technology Council should contact Kristin Van Strien at 724-938-3241 ext. 244. Individuals are asked to speak based upon the interest of the attendees.
The remaining schedule for the 2007-2008 school year is as follows:
