Looking Forward to Tech Talk

Tech Talk is a day-long, virtual professional development conference led by CPS educators, tech coordinators, Googlers, SOPPA-approved vendors, and CPS thought leaders.

Sessions are intended to partner skills with the tech tools needed to stay organized and engage students. Topics focus on instructional technologies, Google integration in the classroom, Skyline, Social/Emotional Learning, the future of AI, and upcoming CPS technology initiatives. Because the event is entirely virtual, you will have the flexibility to select and attend up to five sessions from a diverse offering.
