If it looks like we are having a little fun around here...

I think it is safe to say...WE ARE! So sit back and take a few minutes to look at the premiere offerings we are excited to announce for the "Agents of Change" NCCE 2007 conference in Spokane, Washington.

Many of you will notice that we are offering MORE...More hands-on workshops to assist you in your classroom, More sessions to update you on the current technology in education, More IT Leadership activities, and More Fun!

For more than 36 years, Northwest Council for Computer Education has brought together educators, technology specialists, administrators, and the curious to learn and share the most recent issues facing technology in education today. Working with a diverse group of professionals all across the nation, we address many of the issues facing classrooms today and give you the resources to support you.

But don't take my word for it...take a look at the over 60 workshops and over 120 simultaneous sessions designed around a variety of topics and ideas that demonstrate how Northwest educators are using technology.

We have a lot to look forward to this year, so bring your shades, 007 memorabilia, magnifying glass, your best secret agent tricks and let us brief you for your next mission!

Let me tell you how excited I am about this year's 2007 Agents of Change NCCE Conference held in beautiful Spokane, Washington. NCCE keeps its promise to provide "real time" issues and support on handling those issues in your current educational setting. While at the conference, you will have hundreds of workshops, seminars and events that will inspire you to use technology in ways to enhance the learning of your students. It will also be a great time to network, refresh and have fun.

Financing, time, and lack of expertise are common obstacles that we all face when choosing to attend a professional development conference. However, let me encourage you to take a look at the Advance Program and share it with your staff members. We have found that schools that organize a team of participants have the most success. By registering as a team, you can also qualify for a group discount. We also work together with districts for additional discounts. The NCCE goal is very simply: Supporting and advancing the use of educational technology in the Pacific Northwest. Our conferences continue to grow in numbers because we strive to rise above your expectations and listen to our member's needs.
