T+L Delivers Strategies to Help Your District Do More With Less
In these challenging times it is more important than ever to learn how technology can help your district succeed. This year’s T+L Conference showcases the latest education technology tools and programs to save your district money AND boost achievement.

At T+L, we’ll examine the current initiatives: the Education Technology and the National Broadband Plans, and the reauthorization of ESEA – and look closely at what tools are available that can help your district embrace innovation while maximizing limited funds.
