In an effort to help rural faculty, staff and administrators bring technology into their schools, Blackfoot initiated the Education Technology Conference (ETC) in 2009 with the help of our valuable partners. The conference goal is to help rural schools integrate effective teaching technology into the classroom and bring lessons to life. ETC provides educators with hands-on training and tools to keep students safe on the Internet and engaged in learning. Blackfoot sponsors the entry fee for all Blackfoot Cooperative members and member schools. Please enjoy as a free benefit! | |
