Dive Insight:

Chromebooks are dominating the tablet market and districts across America have incorporated Google's Classroom LMS into their classrooms. It has integrated itself so well into the ed landscape that it sort of seems like a given that it would bring together all of the people it has worked with for one big education conference. Of course, a digital conference is also apropos. While it takes place during the school week, which may make it somewhat difficult for classroom teachers or administrators to "attend," one thought would be to participate as a school or classroom. Engaging students in conversations about their own education is critical for success.
