Title: “AI in Education IT: Enhancing Operations and Student Success”
Description:
This session is designed for technology directors and IT leaders in K–12 education who want to harness the power of AI to streamline operations, improve support, and better serve students and staff. We’ll explore real-world examples of how AI can automate helpdesk tickets, enhance cybersecurity awareness, simplify device management, and more. Attendees will walk away with ready-to-use prompts, a hands-on chatbot lab, and a concrete roadmap for responsible AI integration in their districts. Whether you’re curious or experienced, this session will help you lead with confidence.
Title: “Using TechCred to Upskill Staff and Students in IT & Cybersecurity”
Description:
Ohio’s TechCred program is an incredible opportunity—but many schools aren’t using it to its full potential. This session breaks down how TechCred works, what certifications qualify, and how you can use it to fund training for both your staff and advanced high school students. We’ll cover application strategies, timeline tips, and examples of successful implementation in IT, cybersecurity, and support roles. You’ll leave with a clear action plan and templates to get started right away.
