FlexTech High School was shaped by these presenters over the past five years. In that time, we have engaged in technology in a variety of ways, and continue to look for new and exciting way to engage our students in relevant, rigorous work that mirrors what they'll experience once they graduate. We've experienced first hand that embracing and using technology isn’t as easy as just handing every student a computer, and hope to share our successes & learning experiences with attendees.​

For both educators and students, learning is happening more and more in collaborative teams. Recent web-based and mobile tools have made collaboration easy and fun, but educational institutions have been slow to take advantage of them. What can online collaborative tools do to help teams work well? What can’t they do? What sorts of strategies and group norms can help them be effective?  In this panel, we will consider Slack, Trello and other tools designed to maximize online communication.
