Coming Soon! Walled Lake Spice it Up Technology Conference

Walled Lake Consolidated School District in SE Michigan hosts an annual tech conference just prior to the school year begins; the Spice it Up Technology Conference.  I chair the event and it's coming up on Thursday, August 25.  It is sure to be our best yet!

Highlights: 

  • Our keynote speaker is Dr. Rebecca Harris, General Motors' Social Media Strategist.  Dr. Harris will explain what GM does to communicate with consumers, stakeholders, and dealers to show how social media is a real medium that EVERYONE needs to understand to be successful in business and life today.  Our role as professionals in helping our students utilize social media in positive ways is critical as we help prepare them for success in their future endeavors.

  • SB-CEUs are available for the first time!

  • Over 50 sessions!

  • Held in a beautiful school with wireless Internet access throughout, making BYOL sessions possible.

  • Sessions for teachers, administrators, secretaries, and parapros.

  • Lots of "buzz" in the air; people excited to attend and learn!


The conference brochure is available here.  Although the conference is put on by Walled Lake staff for Walled Lake staff, educators outside of our district can attend for a small fee.  Contact me if interested.

  1. What a bummer to find that when I arrived this morning there was no power and therefore no conference! I am truly hoping there will be a reschedule option as this is alway a great day of learning, sharing and getting ideas for the new year!
