For over a decade the CSTA Conference (formerly the CS and IT Symposium) has been an excellent forum for K-12 teachers to network and learn. I’ve been to nearly all of them and always look forward to attending. I have learned much, made many acquaintances and renewed many friendships at the dozen of these Symposia/Conferences I’ve attended. Well worth my time and I hope yours too.
This year the CSTA Conference is on July 15 and 16, 2013 at the Boston Marriott Quincy, Quincy MA. July 15 will feature Hands-on Workshops and July 16 will feature Keynotes and Breakouts.
