Please check back in Spring 2022 for more information about the next conference.

On, August 4, 2020, East Stroudsburg University hosted its first ever Igniting Innovation in Instruction conference. The focus was on blended and online learning and was held completely online.

This free conference is open to all educational practitioners, and Act 48 hours will be awarded for Pennsylvania educators.

Sessions have been divided into four strands: K-6, 7-12, higher ed, and leadership for ease of selection, but you are not tied to those tracks.

All tracks are open to educators regardless of a current position or teaching assignment. A conference booklet will provide a description for each session and biographical information about the presenter.

To register, click on the links under each strand to enter your contact information.

You will receive a follow-up email with information and a link for your sessions.

ESU will send you a reminder email the day before the event in case you lose your registration information.

If presenters have provided any materials, you can access them in this Google Drive folder. After the conference concludes, please complete our short survey so that we can improve our events.
