Our services support the entire teaching and learning community.

Please join Eastern Suffolk BOCES, Western Suffolk BOCES, and Nassau BOCES – in collaboration with NYSCATE – for this year’s Long Island Technology Summit!  Our summit theme – Collaboration and Communication – will be threaded throughout the conference and will be addressed by Dr. Tony Wagner in his keynote address.  The keynote presentation is generously donated by Scholastic.  Other exciting topics will be:

  • Expert 21 and 21st Century Learning
  • Technology that Chronicles Lives!
  • Being Xtra Normal in the Classroom
  • Systematic Change through Student-centered Active Learning Environments
  • eduTecher’s Top Ten Web tools for Your Classroom
  • Northwest Evaluation Association – putting children at the center of the educational experience

We’ve added a Tech Café this year for a truly personal hands-on learning time for you.  Be prepared to learn Scratch, document camera integration, Doodle, Google Earth, and social networking to enhance literacy.
We hope administrators and district teachers can join us on October 27, 2010 at the Huntington Hilton.  Cost is $100 per person which includes a light breakfast, lunch, and a copy of Dr. Wagner’s book The Global Achievement Gap.
