Conference Information

The Missouri Research and Education Network (MOREnet) will host the 2006 annual MOREnet Instructional Technology Conference (MITC) to bring together educators interested in maximizing the opportunities for technology in Missouri schools. This year’s conference offers high-quality professional development sessions including hands-on seminars, workshops and roundtable discussions, plus an exhibit hall full of the latest technology tools and expertise.

New this year, we have developed the following conference strands to help you better tailor your learning experience at MITC:

Instructional Technology Integration: This strand focuses on the incorporation of the various technology tools and resources available to teachers to enhance instruction. Look for information about interactive white boards, hand-held computers, blogs, podcasts, web quests, virtual libraries, instructional / educational software, and digital multimedia.

Administration & Management: Look for topics that address the issues administrators face related to student achievement such as data-driven decision making, No Child Left Behind, digital portfolios, teacher and administrative assessment, and student technology assessment.

Technology Leadership: These presentations will emphasize leading a technology-focused school and classroom, covering necessary resources and issues many schools face. You’ll find information on technology planning and policies; staff roles and standards; professional development; budgets and funding; network security and management; and technical support.

Distance Learning: This strand addresses distance learning technology, delivery methods, resources and opportunities for collaboration. Look for presentations that cover interactive videoconferencing, virtual field trips, content/course management, e-Conferencing, ITV consortiums and collaborations.

Collaboration & Networking: Here we’ll highlight opportunities for MOREnet members to engage each other to develop new insights and share best practices. We’ll showcase learning communities, cross-program collaboration opportunities, affinity groups and other ideas for networking with your peers.
