Experience FETC Every Month

Introducing FETC Learning Network, a brand new electronic newsletter especially for the FETC community. Delivered straight to your e-mail inbox each month, T.H.E. Journal will continue the learning you experienced at FETC 2012.

Each year, educators from across the United States—in fact, from all over the world—come together in late January at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando for the FETC National Conference. A few days later, they leave better educated, energized, and inspired to return to teaching and learning—and eager to come back the next year for more of the same.

FETC Learning Network is a way to keep that sense of community that has grown up around FETC and the FETC Virtual Conference going all year long. Delivered straight to your e-mail inbox each month, T.H.E. will continue the learning you experienced at FETC with critical insights and advice from K-12 technology experts, as well as the latest on mobile and cloud development projects, security solutions and strategies, collaborative technologies, updates on plans for FETC 2013, and all the excellent articles on education technology trends and analysis you've come to depend on from T.H.E. Journal.

This inaugural issue, delivered to you on the official opening day of FETC 2012, is filled with information you can use if you are in Orlando and attending the event itself. If you are not attending in person, follow our extended coverage of FETC news—including keynote speakers, professional learning sessions, and new product announcements—at thejournal.com.
