If you want to find out about the latest and greatest in educational technology, then you definitely don’t want to miss the third annual Ulster BOCES Educational Technology Expo on Wednesday, December 4 from 4-7 PM at the Ulster BOCES Conference Center in New Paltz. In case of inclement weather, the Expo will be held on Thursday, December 5.

The purpose of this educational software and technology tools exposition is to demonstrate Learning Standards-based applications and ways to integrate software and hardware technology into the K-12 curriculum. Technology, special education, and bilingual education teachers and students from across Ulster County will be on hand to showcase software applications, websites, and various assistive technologies.

Teachers, administrators, and technology committee members are all encouraged to come and see their colleagues as they share technology tips and tricks. Parents and community members are also encouraged to attend and see what is happening with technology and education in Ulster County.

A great feature of the Expo is the opportunity for participants to learn how to evaluate software in a hands-on demonstration. They will also have the opportunity to talk with students and educators about how technology has enhanced their teaching and learning.

Registration is FREE and anyone interested is encouraged to stop by and enjoy the fun. Ample parking is available in the large lot to the right of the Conference Center. For more information about the event, please call Model Schools at (845) 255-1402. ”
