OBEA'S 2014 FALL CONFERENCE
Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary School, Burlington, Ontario
We are excited to present our 2014 Fall Conference at Dr. Frank J.
Hayden Secondary School. Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary School
has state-of-the-art facilities, which will allow us to offer a wide range of
workshops in a creative and collaborative learning environment. You
will have the opportunity to participate in several hands-on, lab-based
sessions with the latest software and Internet tools in Business
Education. Many of the workshops will be applicable to all subject
areas under the Business Studies umbrella.
We have compiled a roster of talented workshop leaders from various
boards and business organizations who will provide a wealth of
classroom-ready resources. We are confident that you will thoroughly
enjoy the slate of dynamic and innovative presenters we have
assembled!
Integrating computers in the classroom continues to be an essential
component of the Business Studies curriculum. We continue to offer
hands-on workshops featuring differentiated instruction, Web 2.0 tools,
SMART Boards, and smartphone/tablet apps.
This year, our CorporateSponsors, Vendors and Educational Partners
have generously donated many exciting prizes, which will be drawn for
during the conference lunch break. There will also be a special draw at
the conclusion of the conference.
OBEA would like to express our appreciation to Jacqueline Newton,
Principal of Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary School, for providing an
outstanding venue for the Fall Conference.
We encourage you to speak with your school administration and
federation representatives to inquire as to the availability of conference
funding.
