Intel's Education Visionary Conference
eSchool News online

Intel Corp.'s fourth annual Education Visionary Conference. Looks like an interesting conference with some significant presenters from schools and major tech companies.

A principal from Texas, Tracey Freeley, talks about how technology intergration has changed her school. Besides changing her personal focus from "graduating kids" to "preparing them for life" she points out that the overall atmosphere of the school has changed.

"We have changed what we teach, and how we teach, in the classroom," she said.
"Teachers are facilitators of learning--that's a huge role reversal. You walk
into the classrooms, and you find students teaching. When kids take ownership of
learning, that's when learning happens. That's engagement."
