Morehead State University hosted the Eastern Kentucky region’s annual Teach Meet on Tuesday, July 19, at the Adron Doran University Center (ADUC). The event drew over 200 participants from school districts, including Rowan County, Johnson County, Newport Independent, Ashland Independent and Russell Independent.
Teach Meet is a free professional development opportunity for K-12 teachers to learn about innovative technologies to incorporate into their daily instruction and to network with colleagues from across the region. Event organizers were Pamela Rowland (Class of 1993), digital learning coach for Rowan County Schools; Laura Raganas, digital learning coach at the Kentucky Department of Education; Greta Casto (Class of 1994), Russell Independent; Lisa Salyer (Class of 1996), Johnson County Schools; Andrew Castle (Class of 2002, 2003), Johnson County Schools; and MSU Professor of Education Dr. Kimberlee Sharp.
Teach Meet featured short, demonstration-focused and interactive sessions. Attendees could choose from more than 56 sessions throughout the day, and teachers utilized their laptops, tablets and cell phones to access applications and share ideas for classroom usage.
