At the March 2019 Tech & Learning Leadership Summit, attendees discussed innovative models of schooling, tech breakthroughs that will drive innovation, and what schools are doing to create the next generation of innovators.
Tech & Learning Leadership Summits are attended by a select group of K-12 technology and instructional professionals from districts across the country who understand and benefit from timely and relevant executive-level news about the successes and challenges of edtech.
Presenting timely and relevant content from the most authoritative speakers and advisors, along with unmatched networking opportunities, the two-day events are comprised of lively panel discussions and roundtables, one-on-one meetings, and networking-focused social activities.
Speakers and discussions will focus on K-12 leadership for tomorrow’s schools and the impact of emerging technologies such as mobile and cloud computing, immersive and virtual environments, and more. Each Summit will use a combination of presentations and working sessions to focus on challenges and success stories related to technology-supported educational transformation.

This presentation will provide participants with a demonstration of USCShoah Foundation's Interactive Biography from its “Dimensions in Testimony” program. Attendees will “meet” and interact with a survivor of a Holocaust concentration camp via the Foundation’s Interactive biographies, which are interactive educational tools that permit visitors to have "virtual conversations" with survivors of genocide about their life experiences.
"Dimensions in Testimony", incorporates interview content recorded with advanced filming techniques, next-generation natural language processing, and specialized display technologies to deliver an interacting learning experience that invites students to drive their own exploration of the past and consider its impact on the present. As a result, students develop knowledge, communication and critical thinking skills, and empathy -- all of which are important for active citizenship.
This presentation will inform a discussion about how technology and story can bring students new ways of learning history, building empathy, and developing critical thinking and literacy skills.
