 * Educon Conference, Philadelphia - [|__http://educon23.org/__]
 * Title II could support the r __egistration__ for attendees.
 * I attended Educon last year. It was an amazing experience. It is held at the Science Leadership Academy in Philly (the school that Janet said we must visit to see how it’s transforming education). The day before the conference starts (1/28), all attendees are invited to spend the day at SLA and see how it operates. I did not observe on this day last year - I plan on observing this year while school is in session.. ~Brooke
 * Pennyslvania Educational Technology Expo and Conference - [|__http://www.peteandc.org/program.asp__]
 * Frank Kremm, Diane Barrie, and Brooke Mulartrick are attending. I expect two more Professional Leave forms. Please share your ideas with them. Ask for them to look into topics you are interested in learning more about for your building and staff.
