About the Event

HP, Intel, and our partners have joined forces with Tech & Learning to bring you the new 2010 HP & Intel Digital Learning Event Series.



These unique, interactive forums are one-day events held throughout the United States. Each Digital Learning Event is an immersive experience that provides K-12 decision-makers with state-of-the-art technology solutions delivered in hands-on learning environments.



For the Teaching and Learning Track, sessions were hosted in Math, Science, Language Arts and Professional Development. This unique classroom environment let attendees be students for the day and experience compelling standards-based learning moments through seamless technology and curriculum integration.

For the Technology Track, IT decision-makers attended to learn more about cloud computing solutions, wired and wireless networking, and asset and data security for district infrastructures. They had an elective time slot to attend one of the Teaching and Learning sessions.



At these Digital Learning Events, attendees learned how technology-rich environments enrich students’ learning experiences, change the way teachers engage their classes, and help them build sustainable technology programs.
