[43]2023 Theme: 奶糖直播4ALL
Thank you to all the educators who submitted proposals for Traditional Breakout Sessions, Student Voice Village, and Interactive Spaces. We are looking forward to the Fall Conference with your inspiring sessions. It is going to be a GREAT Conference!
Proposal Acceptance decisions for the 奶糖直播 2023 Fall Conference will be sent out by the end of June.
At the beginning of the year, we realized in order to progress towards our mission to "Educate, Connect, Inspire,” we could not be 奶糖直播 for some, we had to be 奶糖直播4All; which is why we're making equity a through-line. Additionally, as an EdTech organization, we know that the impact of technology in the classroom, as well as digital literacy in life, is irrefutable. Therefore, it is incumbent upon us to use our platform to advocate for digital equity, not for some, but digital equity for all.

2023 Presentation Strands
School Community: Proposals in this strand should focus on building school community and culture in order to positively impact experiences for students and staff. This can be anything from infrastructure and networks to building-wide policies, or even district-wide tech integration. These sessions should deepen knowledge for school leaders to feel empowered in guiding community-based, building-wide action steps.
Capacity Building: Proposals in this strand should focus on education technology tools that can increase equity and/or access for students. These sessions should showcase specific tools and/or strategies that school/classroom educators can use.
Joy and Justice: Proposals in this strand should focus on embracing joy as a tool to inform school/classroom policies. These sessions should include examples of how opportunities for joy expanded results for justice.
Centering Students: Proposals in this strand should focus on how to embrace student voice, choice, and agency in the school/classroom environment. These sessions should provide specific examples so that participants feel empowered to bring youth into decision making spaces with the goal of determining what is best for students.
