In case anyone might be interested, I just wanted to make a quick post about an upcoming Ed Tech conference being hosted by ACT. That conference is the Educational Technology and Computational Psychometrics Symposium (ETCPS), and will be held on October 9 and 10 in Coralville.
There are quite a few interesting talks and sessions scheduled, including an Ed Tech demonstration session on the evening of October 9th that you can even register for separately from the rest of the conference. Topics include general educational technology, game-based learning, new assessment methods, and population models (on the psychometrics side of things!). With an educator discount, the entire conference (including lunch both days) is $160 to attend. You can find the full schedule, registration, and such on the conference website.
Hope to see some other Tech Scouts there!
