2013 Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference

2012 Hands-on Training Sessions
~ At-A-Glance ~


PLEASE NOTE:  With the exception of Monday and evening workshops, the costs for these in-depth, hands-on sessions are in additionto the general conference registration fee for that day.  The cost for the daytime sessions is reduced because participants are also paying the conference registration fee.  Please refer to the description pages that follow (or the registration page) for the individual cost for each session.

Be sure to select on your registration form the PSDC workshops you wish to attend, as pre-registration is required.  Your registration for these special sessions will be confirmed by email upon receipt at the NHSAA office.  If submitting your registration through your district office, it is a good idea to make a copy for yourself.  These workshops are filled on a “first-come, first-served” basis; you are strongly encouraged to register for these sessions using the online registration system.

AGAIN in 2012:  all PSDC workshops are Bring YOUR Own Technology (BYOT).  There will be NO labs (computers, laptops, tablets, etc.) provided for these hands-on workshops this year.  You are required to bring your own technology to all PSDC sessions per the requirements noted in the session description.  Please make your selections carefully.

Some workshops are offered as Master It & Take It (MITI) workshops where the device is included in the workshop registration fee.  You will receive a device for ALL MITI workshops, the specific device model and specifications are posted on the CMTC website in mid-October.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the NHSAA office: (toll free) 1-866-753-4479.
