Remember the BIG name change in 1993? Prince announced he would no longer go by the name Prince, but rather a symbol which was a mash-up of the male and female gender symbols. Logistically, this was a nightmare for the media, so they made up the clumsy title of “The Artist Formerly Known As Prince.” Well, at TCEA we are not being reckless and foolhardy with names, but we are changing our Tots and Technology summer conference to a new name (a very LOUD drum roll, please.)
Elementary Technology Conference

Innovative PreK – 5 Educators
Now that we have established the BIG name change, time for a . . .
