Upcoming Conference Opportunity

Welcome back from Spring Break.  If you are looking for an energizing professional development opportunity consider attending the third annual Connected Educators Unconference on Saturday,  April 18th .  The event is $20 and will be at the Jackson Career Center.   In my opinion hosting a Saturday event ensures that participants want to be there, and will be engaged.  Jackson County ISD and Ingham ISD are teaming up to produce the event.  This is a chance for active learning alongside experts.  BYOD and prepare to participate!
