This year we took a new path on TechnoPalooza and decided to share the great things happening at NISD with the world…literally! The conference was opened to outside participants and presenters for the first time. The alternate definition of the word Education is “an enlightening experience.” I would say that those who came received just that.
New things for this years conference included food trucks parked in the lot for lunch, vendor booths for our guests, a staggered schedule to accommodate the larger crowd and lots of learning in every room. I am proud to say that I was even able to send a Tweet during our very last session on the final day with a completely full room (extra chairs included). Though we may not put on the biggest “show” in education, I will put our content and session offerings up against anyone. When a district near Houston stays until the very end and asks when they can register for next, I would say that we did something right. So proud of our team!
