“Best of the Best” NECC 2006 Workshops
NECC attracts some of the best educational technology presenters in the country. Each year, ISTE identifies the Best of the Best workshops offered at NECC. Inclusion in the Best of the Best program is based on quantitative and qualitative evaluation of numerous factors including workshop enrollments, participant evaluations, relevancy of topic, and overall audience appeal.
Today, we bring these exceptional programs to you! We can schedule half-day and/or full-day workshops at your school, school district, state office, or regional conference. Many can be tailored to your needs.
Except where noted, the original workshop length is 3 hours. Most can be modified to fit your schedule.
We look forward to discussing these opportunities with you. Please contact ISTE Professional Development Services at profdev@iste.org for pricing and availability.
