Administrative Technologies
Core Issue: Core Issue
Too often, schools, colleges and universities venture into learning technologies with insufficient planning, coordination, or prioritization. This conference topic will examine how campuses can successfully administer the integration of information & instructional technologies into their institutions and academic programs. Other areas of this topic include planning and implementation of classroom and institution-wide technology solutions, choosing appropriate staff development in technology and media, as well as merging existing technologies with newly purchased hardware and software.

Virtual Learning
Core Issue: Virtual Learning includes eLearning, mLearning, collaborative learning environments and any use of computers and computer networks to deliver training and distance education. Whether completely online, hybrid/blended or web-enhanced, Virtual Learning is revolutionizing the roles of time and place in education by providing increased flexibility of learning options for instructors and students. More than any previous education technology, Virtual Learning is transforming both the academic and training worlds by allowing us to create, deliver, and facilitate learning any time, anywhere. Virtual Learning can individualize instruction, enhance the formation and operation of communities of learning and practice, and allow almost instantaneous editing, publishing, evaluation and communication anywhere in the world. Since their debut, Virtual Learning has become much more visible in education such that the exchange of ideas, presentation of case studies and best practices are more important than ever for its continued development.

Integrating Instructional Technology
Core Issue: To often we forget that technology and its powerful tools and programs must ultimately change the way instruction is delivered, including teaching strategies, the way students are engaged and ultimately student achievement. Increasingly decision makers at all levels are asking hard questions about the millions of dollars spent on acquiring and supporting technology and why or why not it is affecting student achievement. The purpose of this topic is to identify and highlight the effective integration of technology into the curriculum and the classroom. Presentations on this topic will offer information vital to understanding the different technologies and their combination with effective teaching strategies. Presentations can also encompass the implementation and support of these programs as well as how they can and do impact specific sub groups of students.

New & Emerging Technologies
Core Issue: Technology is the center piece of TechEd, and the continual evolution of technology requires the vision of the user in the learning environment. Devices, gadgets, peripherals, software, resources, open source, wikis, web strands, all things that make instruction and learning easier and more effective. This topic is about more than just the technology, it is also about the human factor that make these technologies useful and effective. Such factors may include the psychological, social, organizational, and cultural barriers to the actual adoption or implementation of that which is New & Emerging.

Standards Based Instruction
Core Issue: The “No Child Left behind Act” requires states to have annual assessments in place in reading and mathematics for all students in grades three through eight by the end of the 2005-2006 school year, with science assessments added by the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year. Only a handful of states currently administer standards- based tests in both subjects across grades three through eight, setting an unprecedented opportunity for states to enhance the participation of all students to meet high standards as they build and improve their assessment systems. Successful integration of technology into the teaching learning process that is standard-based will give students life experiences that will bridge the gap to the workplace of tomorrow.

Career Technical Education
Core Issue: There is an unmet need for qualified workers in today’s global economy. The ultimate goal of this topic is to facilitate the seamless delivery of workforce education & development through all levels of education and industry with a focus on technology’s role in the process of developing skilled workers suitably equipped to tackle the digital world. To achieve this, this topic acts as a platform for discussion on how to enhance workforce and economic development, increase the supply of skilled workers, and to administer a system of career ladders that provide economic opportunity for all citizens. Presentations on this topic will offer information vital to our understanding of effective practices, how to further these approaches, and methods of leveraging resources from both within and outside of the educational system and establishing collaborative local and regional efforts.
