Both school districts recently made national waves with the announcements about transitioning away from 1:1 devices in the elementary levels. However both Dr. Taranto and Mr Bing’s leadership in EdTech reform does not start or stop there. Learn more about the amazing, data-driven changes they are making in their schools, ask questions, and leave ready to continue productive conversations with your school district. This event will be recorded.
