1EdTech K-12 Institutional Member Lunch & Discuss
Join us for a special lunch and gathering of 1EdTech institutional/district members who are attending FETC. Please RSVP in advance using the signup form below.
Creating a More Effective System for Results Management and Reporting
A digital transformation in K-12 has the potential to benefit teaching and learning in huge ways, such as enabling better access to rich and diverse resources that can help personalize learning for students and automating burdensome tasks like rostering and assigning access to resources that can save valuable time for teachers. Yet institutions are still trying to remedy the endless hours spent moving grades from learning and assessment tools to the gradebook of record, such as in a student information system. So, how can we work together to conquer this challenge and ease the administrative strain on teachers? And how can we construct a truly unified data dashboard using open standards-based educational technology that will give teachers a more comprehensive overview of student performance than traditional grading systems? Let's discuss over lunch! Bring your input and ideas and join your fellow K-12 edtech leaders as we explore a new, cutting-edge initiative led by 1EdTech Consortium to create a more effective system for results management and reporting.
*This meeting is not part of the FETC agenda; there is no cost to participate.
Date/Time: Monday, January 28: noon-2:30 PM
Room: NORTH 320H
Speakers: Rob Abel, CEO, 1EdTech Consortium; Jill Hobson, Institutional Program Manager, 1EdTech Consortium
