The 21st Century Classroom

(Keynote and Panel Discussion).

Hear from teachers, innovators, administrators, and policy experts about how technology has reinvented the American classroom. Teachers are no longer the gatekeepers of knowledge; rather they are facilitators of the learning process. Hear directly from the educators, administrators, and ed-tech entrepreneurs on the front lines.

Plus, bank on engaging in amazing discussions, forging new connections with the best and the brightest, and learning from people all over the ed-tech spectrum in our Nation's Captal!
