ROBERTSDALE, Ala. -- Teachers from throughout Baldwin County got a good dose of available technology at the Baldwin County Public Schools’ Digital Renaissance Conference held Wednesday and Thursday at Robertsdale Elementary School.

“This training allows our teachers to be made aware of all the technology that’s available to them,” said Dr. Alan Lee, Baldwin County Schools superintendent.

More than 800 teachers participated in the event, which included 95 sessions spread through 24 classrooms, computer labs, the library and teacher workroom at RES. Sessions lasted either 50 minutes or 1 hour, 50 minutes and ran from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.

“There are so many opportunities that teachers have no trouble finding different training opportunities,” Lee said.

The conference attracted teachers from kindergarten through 12th grade. Many of the participants were teachers who will introduce laptop teaching technology to their students for the first time as the district expands Digital Renaissance to middle grades.

Digital Renaissance is an initiative that combines 21st century teaching strategies with world-class technology. Baldwin County Public Schools is one of only two dozen districts in the nation to be invited to participate in Digital Promise League of Innovative Schools, a White House initiative.
