Back on Friday, January 15, the Learning Technology Center wrapped up a first-of-its-kind conference centered on education’s most recent evolution. The Remote Learning Conference marked a major leap forward for collaboration in Illinois’ edtech community, with educators from around the Prairie State gathering to share their hard-earned knowledge from the past year of distance learning.

The Learning Technology Center selected 43 security best practices that all districts should implement to comply with new SOPPA legislation.

Previously a stand-alone conference without a single organizational lead, IETC will join the LTC as part of our diverse professional learning offerings.

This week in review: LTC EdTech Office Hours, Online Learning Resource Database, and new videos, handouts, and podcasts.

The Learning Technology Center is committed to remaining open as we support Illinois school districts, staff, and students. First and foremost, this decision is based on the understanding of what school system leaders and staff are facing in their own community, including preparation for remote learning.

The Learning Technology Center of Illinois has partnered with Girls Who Code (GWC) to bring free computer science learning opportunities to our community. Girls Who Code Clubs are FREE after-school programs for 6th-12th grade girls to join a sisterhood of supportive peers and role models and use computer science to change the world.
