ITEC stands for the Iowa Technology & Education Connection. ITEC promotes the use of technology in education by demonstrating to its members, other educators and the public, developments in educational technology and how its appropriate use supports teaching and learning.
ITEC serves its members by:
- conducting an annual educational technology conference in the Fall
- conducting an annual technology infrastructure conference in the Spring
- providing a network of educators available to share their expertise
- making contact with legislative groups, department of education, user groups, and other professional organizations
- displaying information about the organization at statewide conferences
- providing leadership on how technology can impact teaching and learning
ITEC Spring 2021 will be a little different this year as we transition to a virtual conference format. We still aim to provide a truly effective learning experience for all attendees but with a few changes:
- All regular sessions will have an asynchronous part (30 minute recorded video that will be released on the Saturday of the conference week) and a synchronous part (an up to 30 minute live Q&A session that will be scheduled between Monday and Friday of the conference week)
- Keynotes and Featured Speaker sessions will be live and accessible through the Whova application
- Vendors will be available through either a hosted session or through the Whova app in the Exhibitor Center
- There will be multiple ways in the Whova app to connect with other educators in order to make those connections that are so impactful and are a key to any educational conference.
ITEC Spring 2021 will start on Saturday, April 10th and the projected schedule is as follows:
- Saturday: Asynchronous sessions available in the Whova application
- Monday: Q&A sessions 12pm – 8pm (last session starts at 7pm)
- Tuesday: Featured Speakers: 9am – 12pm, Q&A live sessions: 12pm – 8pm
- Wednesday: Keynote: 9am – 11am, Featured Speakers and Keynote sessions: 11am – 3pm, Q&A live sessions: 3pm – 8pm
- Thursday: Q&A live sessions: 12pm – 8pm
- Friday: Q&A live sessions: 12pm – 4pm
