Poster Presentation

This is a new type of presentation (30 minutes) that we want to feature for presenters who have great ideas that work, but don’t want to do formal presentations. We are looking at having two breakout sessions (one in the AM and one in the PM) with 5-7 presenters at each session showing interested members a great educational tool. Each presenter will have their own table in the breakout room. One session would revolve around technology and technology tools; the other around curriculum.
