#OETC23 Theme:

Celebrating the Past; Creating the Future.

 

The Ohio Educational Technology Conference is celebrating the past 25 years and creating the future with technology, so students are successful. Our conference tracks represent the future teaching and learning with technology for our audience.  

Conference Tracks

OETC uses conference tracks to organize the sessions into a cohesive program that can be searched by attendees to find sessions that interest them, apply to their role in the organization, and therefore, fill a specific educational or professional development need.

The OETC23 conference tracks focus on Instruction, Information Technology, Leadership, and Library/Media Specialists.
