Technology investments can be one of the last line items in a district budget, but that doesn’t mean they are not essential to providing a quality learning experience.

Each of our panelists brings a unique and valuable perspective. Jacob Kantor will illuminate the vendor landscape and effective procurement strategies. Dr. Michael Conner will connect tech investments to overarching district vision and equity goals. Superintendent Dr. Patrick Gittisriboongul will emphasize the crucial alignment of technology with pedagogical innovation and student outcomes. Sabba Quidwai will explore future-forward technologies and their potential to transform learning. Julia Fallon will address the critical aspects of digital equity and accessibility in technology adoption. Attendees will gain actionable strategies for making informed tech purchasing decisions, empowering leaders to make informed choices that drive positive change for teaching and learning. That way district leaders can strategically pursue and invest in technology that helps students.
