TI's premier professional development event for math and science educators offers innovative ways to integrate technology and content into classrooms to increase student understanding and achievement
DALLAS, March 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Texas Instruments (TI) 25(th) Annual Teachers Teaching with Technology(TM) (T(3)) International Conference will open and close with inspiring STEM-focused keynotes, kicking off with a welcome address by former astronaut and NFL player Leland Melvin and ending with a big bang when actress and neuroscientist Mayim Bialik takes the stage.
The 25(th) annual T(3) International Conference brings together education experts, thought leaders, and math and science teachers with more than 400 sessions covering the most relevant topics in education today. Educators can also participate in sessions about integrating TI's math and science learning technology and content into their classrooms, including the new TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition and the recently-announced TI-Nspire(TM) Apps for iPad.
"For 25 years, TI and the T(3) organization have provided the best professional development resources for educators around the world. Classroom education technology has evolved tremendously over the years, and TI has been at the forefront of this evolution providing professional development and training for tens of thousands of educators each year," said Melendy Lovett, president of Texas Instruments Education Technology. "We have seen an explosion in the integration of new technologies that are helping students touch math and science in ways we only dreamed of 25 years ago. Though our technology has changed throughout the years, our commitment to supporting educators remains the same by providing quality professional development that enables mathematics and science educators to be successful in the classroom."
To celebrate the 25(th) anniversary of the T(3) International Conference, TI is offering a special, limited-time $25.00 discount on its all-in-one TI-Nspire Apps for iPad March 6-10, 2013.*
"The enthusiasm of the educators attending T(3) International is just thick in the air. Everyone is so excited about what they're learning and getting to re-connect with our T(3) family each year," said Jill Gough, Atlanta-based math educator and T(3) Instructor. "We count on each other for motivation and encouragement. This is the place to share ideas and experiences, and we can be globally connected in our own education to help further the education of our students."
"Our goal for the T(3) International Conference is to provide educators with the right tools and resources that are critical to both their daily classroom instruction and the long-term success of their students," said Lovett. "Attendees will have numerous opportunities to learn from and network with some of the best math and science educators from around the world, then take home ideas and strategies they can implement in their classrooms immediately."
