Happy June 1st! Summer is in full swing here in the North East, and we are getting ready to kick off our Summer Workshop Series. A bit of news on that front.
- There is still room in next week’s (June 13-14) Advanced iPad and Teaching English & History with Technology sessions in Atlanta.
- We SOLD OUT our Boston iPad Classroom sessions, so we added a NEW session July 8-10.
iPad Summit – Boston
Before you leave for the school year, don’t forget that the Call for Proposals is open for the November 13-15 iPad Summit in Boston. We received over 100 submissions for the Atlanta event, and proposals have already started coming in.
Early Bird Registration has also started. We expect this to be another SOLD OUT event!
