Opening Keynote: The Classroom of Tomorrow, Today

3:00 PM – 3:50 PM

What does effective learning look like when students have grown up with AI, instant answers, and always-on connectivity? A grounded keynote that challenges assumptions about what schools are for — and what technology's role actually should be.

Teaching with AI: Practical Tools for Every Grade Level

4:00 PM – 4:50 PM

A hands-on survey of AI tools that are actually working in K–12 classrooms right now — not in theory, but in real schools with real constraints. Covers lesson planning assistants, differentiated instruction tools, and writing feedback systems. Includes a live demo and a curated toolkit you can implement next week.

Equity in EdTech: Ensuring No Student Gets Left Behind

4:00 PM – 4:50 PM

Technology in schools has an equity problem. Device ratios, broadband access, language barriers, and IEP accommodations all shape who actually benefits from ed-tech investments. James shares the data, the policy levers, and the community-based approaches that close the gap.

iPad vs. Chromebook vs. Laptop: Real Data from 10,000 Students

5:00 PM – 5:50 PM

Which device actually improves learning outcomes? After three years and 10,000 students across three device programs, Marcus shares what the data says — engagement metrics, support costs, battery life in the real world, and the one factor that matters more than any hardware choice.

AI Literacy: Teaching Students to Think Critically About AI

7:00 PM – 7:50 PM

If students are going to live and work in a world shaped by AI, they need to understand how it works — not just how to use it. This session provides a practical framework for K–12 AI literacy education, including age-appropriate explanations, discussion guides, and assessment rubrics.

Making the Case for New Technology to Your Board

7:00 PM – 7:50 PM

You know what your students need. Getting the board to fund it is another matter. A tactical session on how to present EdTech proposals — framing around outcomes, building a coalition, addressing the privacy and security questions that always come up, and surviving budget cycles.

Day 1 Wrap-Up: What's Working in Classrooms Right Now

9:00 PM – 9:50 PM

A panel-format close to day one. Four educators share the one technology or practice that genuinely moved the needle for their students this year. No vendor pitches, no theory — just what actually worked and why.

The Future of Assessment: Beyond Standardized Testing

3:00 PM – 3:50 PM

Standardized tests measure a narrow slice of what students know and can do. Portfolio-based assessment, competency-based grading, and AI-assisted formative assessment are changing what's possible — and creating new equity questions in the process. Dr. Osei lays out the landscape.

Project-Based Learning with Digital Tools

4:00 PM – 4:50 PM

Project-based learning is more effective than lecture — but it's also harder to run, harder to grade, and harder to scale. This session shows how digital tools (collaborative docs, simulation environments, peer feedback platforms) solve the operational challenges while keeping the pedagogy intact.

LMS Deep Dive: Canvas vs. Schoology vs. Google Classroom

4:00 PM – 4:50 PM

Not a vendor pitch — a side-by-side comparison built on real district implementations. Covers teacher usability, parent portal experience, gradebook flexibility, API integration capabilities, and the total cost of ownership that procurement teams often miss.

Student Data Privacy: What Schools Must Know in 2026

5:00 PM – 5:50 PM

FERPA, COPPA, state privacy laws, and the emerging patchwork of AI-specific regulations are creating compliance complexity that most school districts aren't equipped to navigate. A plain-English guide to what you're legally required to do, what best practice looks like, and where to get help.

Closing Keynote: What Students Actually Want from Technology

8:00 PM – 8:50 PM

We surveyed 2,400 K–12 students about how they want to use technology in school. The results are surprising, instructive, and occasionally humbling. A closing session that recenters students as the point of all of this.
