Planning your schedule for any educational conference can be a daunting challenge and the 2019 Illinois Computer Educators Conference is no exception There are so many incredible educators sharing so many incredible things, it is hard to even know where to start. This post includes a few tips on getting started organizing and planning your day of sessions and speakers.
Keynote and Featured Speakers
The easiest place to start planning your day is by checking out the Keynote and Featured Speakers for the conference this year. I've been lucky enough to learn from and with many of these speakers in the past and they are truly an inspiring group. I love these educators!
You can view the full list of the Keynote and Featured Speakers on the ICE Conference Page. You can also filter the ICE Conference Schedule by Featured Speakers or Keynotes.
Creating Future Ready Schools Workshop at #ICE19
"This workshop is designed for interested district and school-based leaders (Admin in charge of PD and Curriculum, Principals, Librarians, Instructional Coaches) to explore effective school-based strategies that assist in providing robust and innovative student experiences for all students. Grounded in leadership and school culture, participants will leave with tangible strategies to build strong instructional partnerships, foster change and collaborative learning, and deploy effective strategies for a Future Ready school."
The ICE /IETL Leadership Summit at #ICE19
I've been fortunate to see several of Dr. Joe Sanfelippo's keynotes in the past and I don't have enough words explain how much I admire him as an educational leader. I know the Leadership Summit to be a great experience for everyone. (This event does require a separate registration on the ICE Conference Site.)
"Join ICE and IETL for their annual Leadership Summit, this year, with Joe Sanfelippo. You will not want to miss this experience with Dr. Joe Sanfelippo, Superintendent of Fall Creek School District in Wisconsin and renowned national author and speaker. Based on his book Hacking Leadership, Dr. Sanfelippo has designed an energetic, interactive workshop, aimed at building leadership at all levels and finding innovative solutions to issues that have plagued the system for years. Built on intentionality, opening doors and developing staff, you’ll take away practical applications that can be implemented tomorrow!"
Illinois Computer Educator Conference Breakout Sessions
Breakout Sessions are hour-long sessions on a variety of educational topics. I think of these sessions are the main event on all 4 days of the conference. Popular sessions often fill up fast during the conference, so don't be late!
