The Alaska Society for Technology in Education held its Annual Conference in Anchorage, Alaska from February 18 to February 21, 2023. It was a busy few days; over the first three days of the conference, I delivered four presentations and a keynote. This has long been one of my favorite conferences and I had a great time. I was particularly touched by the melodious rendition of “Happy Birthday” that preceded my keynote on the morning of my birthday. It was a lovely moment.

They also put together a SmashUp birthday greeting featuring Dolly Parton, which was a lot of fun.

Below are links to PDFs of the slides that I used in the various presentations. If you are interested in having me present to your district or school, please contact me at FSLane3@gmail.com
