The MLTI Student Conference is in its seventh year. Amazing. It is high time that we did more to engage Maine’s teacher educators in the conference. That is why this year the conference planning committee has started the 1st annual MLTI Shadow Conference.
The purpose of this Shadow Conference is to allow a critical mass of Maine’s teacher educators to see, hear, and feel the energy and reality of the Maine Learning Technology Initiative. Through this experience Maine’s teacher educators will be able on reflect on how their programs can most effectively prepare Maine’s future classroom teachers and administrators for digital learning environments.
If you are a Maine teacher educator and work with pre-service or in-service teachers, I implore you to take full advantage of this once a year opportunity.

Shadow conference?
For teachers not bringing kids? For teachers with kids, but leaving kids to go out and about on their own?
For teachers new to MLTI or new to MLTI PD? For tech integrators, teacher leaders, etc or the average classroom teacher just engaging with the new technology? Geared for HS audiences new to MLTI or MS or both? What workshop sessions? Special ones for those teachers to attend, or ones marked somehow in the program?
Or are you just trying to get more teachers to come see the student centered MLTI goodness at the Student Tech Conference?
Sorry for all the questions, but I went to the registration page and was confused.
Hey Sarah. Sorry for the confusion. It is actually an attempt to get higher-educators on board. So people that teach teachers and pre-service teachers.
