Schools are under ever increasing pressure to demonstrate accountability and increase student achievement. And, we all know that technology requires resources but what is the benefit - or the return on our investment? Can technology be the catalyst to launch real reform and true transformation in our schools? How would we measure the value of the investment when the educational goal is student achievement?

At CoSN's 11th Annual School Networking Conference, school technology leaders and decision-makers will examine the educational value of technology. In addition, the conference will explore how visionary leaders use information about the value of technology to drive decision-making and communicate with the community and other stakeholders. The conference provides a dynamic and thoughtful forum to explore the future of technologies that can personalize instruction and maximize learning. Learn from the latest research on the effectiveness of technology and hear from leaders who are transforming technology investments into value for our students.

The program will focus on:

• Leadership skills: What's essential for technology decision-makers to help lead from investment to value?
• Measuring value: How do we assess technology's impact on learning?
• Understanding the value: How do we communicate the benefits of technology to stakeholders?
• The total cost of technology: How is it measured and does it equal value?
• The use of data: Does data-driven decision making lead to learning transformation?
• The role of students: What do they add to the value equation?
• Accessible technology: How does it help all students achieve success?
• The impact of technology use: What does the research tell us?
• Best practices from around the world: What can we learn from our international colleagues?
