- 1. FBISD Educational Technology Conference Program 2013
- 2. he theme for this year’s FBISD 2013 Educational Technology Conference could not be more appropriate. “Leading & Learning with Technology: Mission Possible” is not only a catchy slogan, but must be a way of life for our educators and our students in the 21st Century. In its fourth year, the Technology Conference plays a key role in helping educators at all levels increase their understanding of the function of technology in education. The conference provides us the opportunity to learn about the latest in educational technology and offers a forum for discussion on a variety of technology-related topics. Once again, this year’s conference will have engaging and informative sessions, dynamic speakers and presenters, and commercial exhibits featuring state-of-the-art technology. I want to thank our Educational Technology Department for planning this exciting day of learning for us, and I encourage and challenge you to bring the excitement and new ideas back to your jobs, campuses and classrooms for the 2013- 2014 school year. Enjoy the conference! Charles E. Dupre Superintendent of Schools

The reality of teaching and learning in today’s society has become such that in order to capture and engage the minds of our students, we must create a learning experience that is robust and thriving.

It is the district’s goal to ensure that as students matriculate through Fort Bend Independent School District campuses, they receive a solid curricular foundation that ensures the attainment of 21st Century Learning Skills. Fort Bend Independent School District has outlined the following vision: “FBISD - a teaching and learning community with engaging and empowering experiences that prepare students to be active, creative, knowledgeable, and ethical participants in our globally networked society.” The needs of today’s student require a global learning paradigm that will create a student that is a conscientious thinker and takes ownership in their learning experience. FBISD campuses and classrooms are equipped with technological resources and tools that will enable each teacher to facilitate curricular goal attainment via technology integration. It is our commitment to technology integration that has created a culture of continuous professional development related to technology integration. Again, we welcome you to FBISD's 4th Annual Educational Technology Conference. Enjoy yourself, network, and connect! Sincerely, Robert Calvert
