Edtech Share Fair 2018

The fourth annual Edtech Share Fair (#SCsharefair) is in the books!  THANK YOU to all the attendees and presenters who volunteered valuable time to become learning partners.  Interestingly, while it was not the highest number of tickets "sold" compared to past Share Fairs, this year had the highest amount of people actually show up.  And what a great mix!  Not only did educators register from eight school districts outside of our own, but we also had more than a dozen future educators attend -- both college students as well as from our own Shelby high school student teacher pathway.

This was the first year we added an additional PD strand for Competency-Based Education, and those sessions were as full as our edtech ones.  Food for thought on how we will organize in 2019.

A few months ago, I received a sad notice that Storify is shuttering by the end of this school year.  So while I'll skip making a Storify for this year, I'll still share a sampling of our social media tweets below.   If you want to revisit information about this year's presenters, the Share Fair FAQ, and more, be sure to visit the event Smore.

Last year, STUDENTS presented for the first time at #SCsharefair. Hear @EastMSMissiles Ss share WHY you should come on February 21! FREE tix! (Thanks to @MsRachelKinsey for recording the video!) https://t.co/JTB50hdrTZ #kygodigital #kyedchat #kylchat #INeLearn #SCthinksbigger pic.twitter.com/RqsIzvRrd4

Today’s #edtech #scsharefair found teacher leaders from across @shelbycountysch leading PD that can immediately impact student learning. Special thanks to @watsonedtech and @shields.lora for their work in coordinating this event (4 Years in a Row)! We had guests from Bullitt, Oldham, and Henry as well as U of L, Midway University and Educators Rising! #scthinksbigger
