Dear Colleague, 

For over 11 years, the Technology Leadership 

Institute (TLI) has provided school 

district leaders with opportunities to engage 

with nationally known educational 

technology experts in local venues. It has 

been a great place to share best practices 

and network with peers. This year, 

we have designed another great Tech 

Expo, to highlight outstanding technology 

using educators, from schools throughout 

our region. 

Tech Expo is a wonderful opportunity to 

learn from great teachers who are transforming 

learning with technology. Tech 

Expo showcases local technology leaders 

and vendors who share their strategies 

for success; and, as with all TLI events, 

provides access to nationally known experts. 

Thank you for joining us at the Edith 

Macy Conference Center, to learn from 

our colleagues, to interact with Dr. Yong 

Zhao, Travis Allen, and Karl Fisch, to 

celebrate our successes, and to share 

your expertise. 

Enjoy the day!

Block #1 

Redefining the Human-Machine Relation for Education - 

Auditorium 

Technology holds great potential for improving learning, but that potential 

has been rarely realized on a large scale. The misalignment of technology 

and human beings in the learning process has been the primary reason 

for the failure to realize the full potential of technology. We need to 

analyze the capacities of technology and human actors for supporting 

learning. Dr. Yong Zhao - University of Oregon 

Creating your own Personal Learning Network (PLN) using 

Twitter - Oak

administration of these online assessments. Dr. Dennis Lauro - LHRIC 

Using Technology to Connect Foreign Language Learners to 

Peers Abroad - Sassafras 

"In 2012, it makes no sense that our foreign language learners are limited 

to speaking only to the teacher and the student next to them." Starting 

with this premise, four Edgemont HS educators have spent the past year 

learning about ways to use technology to support authentic conversations 

between their students and native speakers abroad. We will discuss how 

we identified partners in foreign countries, the tools we used to 

communicate with them, and the challenges we met along the way.

thinkers. Through several primary source accounts provided by some of 

today’s hippest most creative thinkers/programmers, this presentation will 

introduce students to workplace, culture, demand and an overall birds-eye 

view of what it is like to work in computer programming in the 21st century. 

Patricia Eyer, Sheri Levasseur - South Orangetown 

Creating 24/7 Learning Environments - Birch 

Today’s educators understand the need to accommodate student learning 

needs outside of the school day. Using web based tools such as blogs, 

websites, videos, and online meeting software, students and teachers can

or are planning to, make large investments in state-of-the-art tools and 

features that prepare them to effectively confront challenges, such as
