EdTech 2008
EdTech has become one of central Virginia’s most valued educational resources for teachers, principals, library media specialists and administrators. It is an annual two-day conference hosted by the Educational Services staff of your Community Idea Stations and highlights the wealth of technology available to educators from K-12. Everyone is offered an opportunity to network and share ideas on technology application and integration for classroom use in hands-on workshops and sessions.
