We know that K-12 school districts face many obstacles to effective teaching and learning and our vision for Schoology is to enable our customers and users to eliminate those barriers."

"I have attended NEXT for the past three years and I can say it is the most comprehensive and inspiring educational conference I have experienced," said Jared Lopatin, Educational Technology Coordinator for Lexington School for the Deaf. "It's not just about the sessions, which are, in and of themselves, pretty awesome, it's about the people you meet there and the conversations that happen throughout the conference and the tips and tricks and hacks and strategies that you learn through those conversations."

Attendees also have an opportunity to earn continuing education and graduate credits by attending Schoology NEXT and the pre-conference sessions. The Schoology Professional Learning team recently received the ISTE Seal of Alignment for their ongoing Blended Learning Leader Program.
