CTO Forums

CTO Leadership Forums are held twice a year (CoSN's and ISTE's Annual Conferences) and provide opportunities for district-level technology directors to share information with their peers and keep up-to-date on best practices and solutions to ed tech challenges. CTO Forum Reports are written after each event. Access the Knowledge Center to read these members-only publications. These events are free, but registration is required.

2013 CTO Forums

Monday, June 24, 2013 | 2:00 - 3:30pm Ballroom C, Hyatt Lonestar (at the ISTE Annual Conference in San Antonio, TX).

Today’s K-12 Technology Departments are evolving from departments of technical experts to collaborative teams with business, leadership, and instructional skills. Successful technology teams work across departments to create a shared vision, collaborate with instructional departments, and further the district mission. They consistently demonstrate the value and impact of IT. Discuss building your own Technology Department Dream Team, starting with ensuring you have the needed skills to serve today's students.
RSVP here.
