The National Association of State Boards of Education (NASBE) will host its 2013 annual conference right outside of our nation’s capital. This year’s event continues in the spirit of our 2012 study group report Born in Another Time: Ensuring Educational Technology Meets the Needs of Students Today – and Tomorrow, as it focuses on the needs of students. This year’s conference, “Born in Another Time: Learners and Learning, Now and Beyond,” takes that idea farther. New technologies—from smartphones and smart TVs, iPads and Leap Pads —have launched our children into a continually changing social and academic environment. This generation of students truly has been born in a time very different from that of their parents, school board members, principals, and most of their teachers. Don’t miss the opportunity to come see and hear dynamic speakers and presentations on emerging topics about the learner and learning, as well as sessions about the Common Core State Standards, School Discipline, Summer Learning, School Choice, Blended Virtual Learning, and more.
