Academic Day is a no-cost dedicated day of content designed to be relevant to

social and new media, and offers the chance to network with fellow educators.
Topics include:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Andrew ran the technical training days earlier this year, he received feedback
from teachers asking about topics that were more general technology areas as

of free training days later on for specific technologies, Academic Day is
designed to provide free academic discussions and presentations on general
technology areas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

those interested, Andrew will also talk about programs teachers can use to
excite their students about technology such as Imagine Cup, the world’s
biggest technology competition for students aimed at generating socially
responsible technology-based solutions to the world’s toughest problems,
DreamSpark for free software, Faculty Connection for a wealth of resources for
use in your own curriculum stream, etc, but the main focus is the topic areas
