MARIEMONT, OH (FOX19) - Six Mariemont City School staff members presented three separate sessions at the 2013 Ohio Educational Technology Conference in Columbus, Ohio.

“Laptops in the classroom have been a staple of instruction at Mariemont City Schools for over a decade, but following the lead of our students, we have piloted, and then expanded, an affordable model that has all students in grades 2-12 engaged with technology every day,” said Paul Imhoff.

Each session was well attended, with over 6,000 people attending the conference for its 15th anniversary. The goal of all eTech sessions was to bring attendees together to teach and learn about new ways to equip, engage and empower learners and educators across the state.
