If you are interested in using evidence in your technology decisions, this is the webinar for you! Join us for the Thursday, January 26th at 4:00 webinar Supporting Educators' EdTech Selection and Implementation.

The EdTech Evidence Exchange will go over information on gathering timely evidence from your educators. In 30 minutes you will hear about a partnership between the VDOE Office of STEM and the EdTech Evidence Exchange that pays Virginia mathematics-involved educators to offer their insights into how technology is working (or not working) for them. Your data are available instantly in an online platform, in time for budget justifications and decisions, and will support ongoing implementation decisions.

Join VSTE For Some Early Summer Fun

On June 16, 2022, at 7 PM, Jean Weller, leader of the GoOpenVA initiative at Virginia Department of Education,  will tell the thrilling tale of how open education resources and Creative Commons joined forces to defeat the enemies of creativity and teacher empowerment. It has a happy ending!

It’s time for a quick refresher in how copyright impacts education and the essentials you need to know, ESPECIALLY if you haven’t taken a session on copyright since the world went digital. Then we’ll talk about the open education movement and the use of alternative copyright schemas for those interested in supporting freedom of creativity but still mindful of the creator’s rights of ownership. This is a worldwide movement that encompasses museums and archives as well as higher education and K-12. Finally, we’ll take a look at how #GoOpenVA ensures Virginia educators have the opportunity to learn from each other in a space that enthusiastically encourages sharing, not “stealing.”

This event is free but registration is required.
