| What is a Super Share-A-Thon? |
The foundation behind the Adaptive/Assistive Share-A-Thon is very simple --
teachers and students presenting to educators in a casual, "interest fair" style format.
|
Join New Hampshire educators who have gathered together to share their successful assistive/adaptive strategies
and experiences in Nashua North. Come explore their ideas and ask questions in this informal, yet highly
informative setting. Spend as much or as little time as you like at stations of interest.
The Share-A-Thon environment allows teachers to share their expertise and successful practices in an informal setting.
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. This year the Adaptive/Assistive technologies focus aligns with our
Thursday spotlight. 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. A complete directory of Share-A-Thon sessions
is available at the entrance to Nashua North on Thursday morning.

| What are the benefits of being a Share-A-Thon Presenter? |
|
Share-A-Thon session presenters share their ideas and expertise in the Ashwood Court from
10:30 to 12:00 p.m. on Thursday. In return, Share-A-Thon presenters are given a free
conference registration for the day on Thursday that includes the keynote session, access
to the exhibitors, their choice of one-hour concurrent sessions at 12:00, 1:30, and 3:00,
and lunch. It is a great way to share your experiences with your colleagues in an informal
and relaxing atmosphere.
