Approximately 80 administrators from the Southern California area gathered for a Google for Education Symposium, Thursday, Oct. 8, at Rancho Verde High School. The event was designed to bring education leaders from our area together to showcase how technology can increase student engagement, help students achieve in school and prepare students for future careers. Angela Mecca and Cassi Caputo from the Google Education Team kicked off the event with Google’s vision for education. Val Verde Unified School District’s Assistant Superintendent of Education Services, Michael McCormick, along with Val Verde Unified School District’s Director of Information Technology, Matt Penner, and Teacher on Special Assignment, Phil Harding presented the symposium keynote. Val Verde Unified School District clearly impressed the attendees.
