Kraig Pritts TALKS About Anytime, Anywhere Learning

In order to thrive in today’s society our students must learn to work together and
collaborate. In too many areas the education system remains locked into a
focus on the individual and “traditional” methods of learning. Our students thrive
on access to information and learning in many ways far different from what most
schools offer in today’s world. This discussion will center on breaking down the
barriers of time, location, and logistics in order to provide “anytime, anywhere”
TECHNOLOGY AND LEADERSHIP KEYNOTE SERIES

learning opportunities for students of all ages in all settings.

Learn how the Tully Central School District is taking the Board of Education’s
challenge of “No more business as usual” to overcome obstacles through innovation. Superintendent
Kraig Pritts will discuss how new learning tools such as Amazon’s Kindle and video conferencing can
make the world a smaller and more enriching learning experience for students in this smaller rural
school. Watch and share in demonstrations about Kindles in the classroom, video conferencing, and
distance learning that take students to learning beyond the walls of the school building to enable
anytime, anywhere learning.
