Pep up your break at the ITEM summer workshop. We'll be at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum with a presentation on Top Tips for Tech Healthy Adults AND Kids, learning Google Expeditions and Flipgrid, and authors Trisha Speed Shaskan, Stephen Shaskan, and Abby Cooper. After all that great learning and networking you can stay for the ITEM board meeting and/or wander the gardens. A great summer pick-me-up! Register by June 10 to pre-order books by the guest authors who will be signing that day.
