Berkeley Technology Conference (BTC) The Berkeley Technology Conference is designed to bring professional educators and technology ideas together in a seamless and engaging way. Teachers from all divisions and disciplines will present on a wide range of technology ideas that focus on everything from cloud based options, to flip teaching models, use of social media, to the myriad of web based tech tools available today. Participants will come away with enhanced knowledge of these tools and more importantly learn how others are using them as well as connect with educators across disciplines and divisions! __** Registration Information **__ Don't forget to check out our hashtag on Twitter ([|#bpsed]).

__**Conference Dates and Schedules**__ **__BTC 2__** **__February 17, 2015__** This is a hands on project based conference that allows educators to share ideas, collaborate and create a project to be implemented in their classrooms. Unlike other conferences, the BTC 2 gives teacher an open schedule to explore a myriad of tech tools and topics that can be used to advance their curriculum. Teachers are asked to develop a project and share that project in dept. meetings that take place after the BTC is over. This is a great opportunity for faculty to share and collaborate. Once the project is completed, faculty are asked to share their project success and failures as part of our EdTech Challenge. This sharing allows other educators to see what works and what didn't. Learning from failure is a key part of the process. **__Schedule__** 1-3 pm = Faculty Project Work in BTC 3-4pm = Dept. Meeting to Share and Collaborate
