Come get your geek on with the Computers & Technology Network! Speed Geeking, a perennial favorite among techie-minded NAGC conference-goers, is a lively morning in which members of the network pitch their favorite technology tools and strategies in rapid succession. "Oohs" and "aahs" from the crowd are encouraged, and walk-in geeks are welcome! Novice or experienced users of educational technology walk away with at least one new idea, courtesy of your geeky colleagues from the Computers & Technology Network.

Learning Objectives:

Participants will learn how to integrate technology tools and strategies into their classroom teaching to enhance gifted student learning and engagement.
Participants will gain exposure to a variety of new and emerging educational technologies that can be used to support gifted and talented learners.
Participants will learn how to evaluate and assess the effectiveness of different educational technology tools and strategies in order to make informed decisions about which ones to use in their own classrooms.
