iPadpalooza is a three-day event held at Westlake High School in Austin, TX. This learning festival is a celebration of the cultural-shift the iPads have brought about in education and the world. This event will focus on creativity, social collaboration, engagement and the compelling ways schools have integrated iPads into their classrooms. This year we will also premiere our “iLead Academy” which will take place on June 17th (8:30-4:00) and is focused on helping campus and district leadership thrive in a mobile learning environment.
The festival will start on the evening of June 17th at 6:30pm (registration opens at 4:00pm) and end on June 19th and will feature amazing speakers from all over the world, lots of live music and of course, food trailers. Please note there will be limited seating to this event and the iLead Academy.

A teacher walks in to my office and proclaims, “I HATE TECHNOLOGY!” Technology can be challenging and it can be frustrating when you have classroom goals and the technology doesn’t seem to be meeting them. It’s easy to throw in the towel and go back the ways things were - they worked, right? Come and learn how one teacher transformed her Writer’s Workshop by using Google Docs in the peer editing process and increased student engagement in writing at the same time!
