| Super Share-A-Thon |
| What is a Super Share-A-Thon? |
The foundation behind the Share-A-Thon is very simple --
teachers presenting to educators in a casual, "interest fair" style format.
|
|
The Share-A-Thon environment allows teachers to share their expertise and successful practices
in an informal setting. The theme is casual, grassroots presentations on "classroom" technology topics.
Presenters are primarily teachers sharing their projects, interests and discoveries. Attendees walk
around and chat with presenters at their mini-booths (like a science fair). The whole process is relaxed,
comfortable, and easy for all parties involved. The Share-A-Thon sessions will be presented in a
highlighted area across from the exhibit hall on Thursday. This offers a unique and exciting focus
to our Thursday schedule. The Share-A-Thon reflects the conference's priority of offering effective
staff development framed by classroom best practices for New Hampshire's outstanding educators.
