Welcome! The Indiana Chief Technology Officer Council welcomes you to the annual Indiana CTO Clinic, co-sponsored by the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN). Today you will experience an intimate professional development opportunity-featuring leaders in both education and technology. Our conference theme this year is “Constantly Learning... Courageously Leading.” Day one of the clinic explored how we are “Constantly Learning” through the Technology Leader’s Toolkit- strategies and tools that make technology leaders more efficient and effective in their day-to-day responsibilities. On day two, we will focus on how we are “Courageously Leading” by exploring best practices of educational technology leaders. You will walk away with best practices to help with strategic planning and leadership. Day two of the clinic will begin with a keynote on “Technology Leadership Strategies” by Dr. Paul Sims, Associate Professor, Dept. of Education Leadership, College of Graduate and Innovative Programs, Concordia University Chicago. Then, the first round of sponsor presentations will help us to discover new technologies and tools. The lunch and awards ceremony will help us recognizing leaders in the field. In the afternoon, we will continue learning best practices for leadership and conclude the day with a panel on the importance of CETL Certification. This opportunity would not be possible without the support from a great group of vendor sponsors. Be sure to meet with the K-12 technology vendors who will be here at the clinic exhibiting their latest, cutting-edge products and services. We encourage you to share your needs and discuss the challenges you see in your district with our vendor sponsors. They may have just the right product or service to help you plan strategically. We trust you will find this day filled with opportunities to learn and expand your leadership. Again, welcome to the 2014 Indiana CTO Clinic!

The 11-module online collaborative material takes an in-depth look at each of the 10 skill areas identified in the Framework of Essential Skills of the K-12 CTO
While there is no resource that will “teach to the exam,” CoSN’s CETL exam preparation modules are an essential tool for anyone preparing for the exam.
Visit CoSN’s Knowledge Center (CoSN.org/KnowledgeCenter) to purchase your subscription and view other
valuable resources created by and for education technology professionals. Special pricing is available to CoSN
members.
Host an Exam Administration in your district or take the CETL exam anytime, any place Usually, CETL exams are administered where education tech leaders are already gathered (e.g., conferences, chapter meetings). However, an exam can be given anytime/anywhere. To host a CETL exam, you will need three things: a proctor, computers with internet access and, of course, test takers. You may host an exam with as little as one test taker. The test takers themselves can arrange the test site but must have a proctor approved by CoSN.
Visit cosn.org/certification or contact the certification team at [email protected] to apply for the exam, set up an exam administration, request proctor training, or to order bulk user licenses for CoSN’s Collaborative Learning Site.

CTO Forum Building a Powerful Team for Blended Learning
When: Monday, June 30, 2014, 2:00-5:00
Location: Omni CNN Center Hotel, Atlanta, GA (during ISTE Annual Conference)
Many believe that blended learning is perhaps the most significant opportunity for transforming
learning in schools. Blended learning offers the potential for personalization and the opportunity
to leverage virtual learning with face-to-face support and collaboration. Yet too often, silos in
our districts can keep us from making this digital leap and fully realizing the potential for blended
learning. This highly interactive forum will explore the roles of the district technology leader
(CTO/CIO), the chief academic officer (CAO) and the superintendent in enabling blended
learning. Hear from a panel of key district leaders who are breaking down the silos and
working to realize the power of this innovation. Bring your questions, engage in the conversation
and come away with tips and tools for building a powerful team.
