Join Us This Summer to See What’s New at TIW

Educators hear from speakers on technology topics and complete a job shadow with a business partner

BestPrep is freshening up the Technology Integration Workshop (TIW). We have enlisted the help of Technology Integration Specialists and past attendees to review and update aspects of the TIW. A team is currently searching for and recruiting new speakers, and will also help review proposal submissions to ensure that breakout topics are relevant and diverse across the technology spectrum. (Submit your suggestions or session proposal online.)

A team is also reviewing and updating the TIW’s unit plan. This is the cornerstone of the workshop and allows participants to apply their newly learned information to concepts that they will teach in the coming year.

The TIW is open to K-12 educators and filled with a wide variety of keynote speakers and breakout sessions for every level. Participating educators report that the four-day workshop helped them learn new skills, gain confidence using technology, and get a first-hand look at the places their students may work one day.

Join us this summer to see these refreshed components of TIW during the workshop from July 31 to August 3 at the University of St. Thomas in downtown Minneapolis!
