The annual NYSCATE Digital Wave Conference will be held at Erie 1 BOCES in West Seneca, NY on Monday, May 9th 2016.  I'll be presenting 3 of the 27 technology presentations that are scheduled to take place.  Join us for an exciting day learning about the latest Educational Technology trends and tools!

Create a gameshow style environment in your classroom! Learn how tools like Socrative and Kahoot run on ANY device with a web browser, perfect for 1:1 or BYOD scenarios. See how you can use tablets, smartphones, Chromebooks or laptops as “clickers” instead of investing in the more traditional one-purpose only hardware devices on the market.
