Welcome!
We hope that you will join us for our 22nd annual Educational Technology Day at Ithaca College on Thursday, March 22, 2012 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Ithaca College Campus Center.
This site provides you with all the information you need to find out more about Ed Tech Day, register as a participant or vendor, see what's new, or learn more about the vendors and others who will be at the show.
What is Ed Tech Day?
Educational Technology Day is a regional technology event that attracts over 1,600 people annually from the upstate New York region. It features local and national vendors such as Adobe, Apple, Dell, Epson, Hewlett Packard, Microsoft and many others.
While one of the primary audiences for the event is the higher education community, the event is open to all, and there is plenty of information of interest to the K-12 and business communities. You’ll be able to talk directly with major computer and technology vendors, explore educational applications, be dazzled by computer graphics and state of the art audio-visual systems, learn how technology is being used today in and outside of higher education, and see what can be expected in the coming years.
More details of the event can be found on our show overview page.
Teaching and Learning with Technology Symposium Track
Once again we are partnering with the Finger Lakes Faculty Development Network (FLFDN) to offer a special “Teaching and Learning with Technology Symposium” track as part of Ed Tech Day. The symposium consists of a special track of seminars running throughout the day and features sessions specifically focusing on innovations and best practices in using technology for teaching and learning, as well as scholarship assessing the effect of technology on student learning.
The Call for Proposals for the 2012 Symposium has closed. The complete schedule will be posted to our seminars page in early March.
The Finger Lakes Faculty Development Network, which organized this special track, is an organization linking people involved in faculty development at campuses in central and western New York. Bi-monthly meetings rotate among member campuses or through web conferencing. For more information about FLFDN please contact Sarah Cass at the Rochester Institute of Technology (sarah.cass@rit.edu).
