Over two hundred educators attended the Collaborative for Educational Services 2016 Technology in Education (TiE2016) Conference, held Thursday at Holyoke Community College.

Keynote speaker Antero Garcia, Assistant Professor of English at Colorado State University, opened the conference with a lively discussion on “Beyond “Dead Channels”: Hope, Activism, and Learning in a Participatory Age.” Garcia drew on examples from his own and fellow educators’ experiences teaching within inner city classrooms to illustrate how learning, activism, pop culture and society itself are perceived and shared via technology by today’s students.

Attendees later chose from over thirty breakout sessions on topics that included digital learning resources, connecting teachers and students digitally, online best practices for teachers, digital resources for STEM programs, creating an interactive classroom, digital storytelling and website design for educational organizations.

The Technology in Education Conference is held annually by the technology department of the Collaborative for Educational Services.
