"The ETC summit was just what I needed to learn about some new state educational initiatives, learn about some new technological tools, and become a fly-on-the-wall for a morning in some classrooms. If there was an ETC summit every semester, I'd be there!" ~ Christine Schnittka, Professor of Science Education, Auburn University
