This event is a special opportunity to work with Cathy Hunt, a global leader in arts & technology integration, and the UCA Bearswrite program in helping students see the transformative power of technology and the arts in writing instruction. Art teachers, both pre-service and those already in the field, will benefit from working alongside Cathy in the morning session as they use the magic of the iPad and active pedagogy to engage students and provide opportunities to make connections across textual and visual literacy. The afternoon will be a small-group session with Cathy, who will further explore the potential of mobile technology and art instruction through active learning.

In addition to this rare opportunity to work alongside a globally-recognized leader in arts and mobile technology integration, attendees will take home $40 worth of art supplies. Also, lunch and snacks are provided! We want you to be a part of this amazing opportunity, so get your ticket today. Tickets are very limited. We want you to have an amazing time and look forward to joining us on June 29!
