District 202 invited to participate in K-12 Ed Tech Summit in November

Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 has been invited to take part in the K-12 Ed Tech Summit, which will be held on November 6-7, 2006, in Fort Worth, Texas. District 202 is one of only two school districts in Illinois invited to attend the conference, joining Chicago Public Schools.

The K-12 Ed Tech Summit offers attendees the opportunity to meet and network with peers in a unique setting. It will give administrators information necessary to adapt to today's evolving education environment and ways to maximize new learning opportunities for students through enhancement of traditional classroom instruction. The summit will include keynote presentations, panel discussions and one-on-one meetings.

District 202 Director of Instructional Technology Linda Casey will represent the district at the event. District 202 was one of many Illinois school districts serving large populations that answered questions via a phone interview to "apply" to attend.

Casey intends to share the information gained from attending the seminar with fellow district office personnel, as well as for staff development purposes throughout the district.

For more information, contact Casey at (815) 577-4017.
