Overview

The #NYCSchoolsTech connects educators, administrators and other staff to technology experts and thought leaders, products and practices. Hundreds of dedicated NYCDOE professionals came to the fourth annual School Technology Summit in 2016. As one principal stated, "This was a great venue to exchange practice/strategies by people engaged in the work. This will only get bigger and better." We hope you were able to join us on July 26 at LaGuardia High School.

The event is presented by the NYCDOE Division of Instructional and Information Technology and is sponsored by the Center for Digital Education (a division of e.Republic).
