McClanahan Presents at Hawaii International Conference on Education

Dr. Barbara McClanahan traveled to Honolulu, Hawaii, during the 5th through the 8th of January to participate in a panel presentation at the 10th Annual Hawaii International Conference on Education. The topic of the presentation was "IPads in Education: Multiple Perspectives." Besides Dr. McClanahan, other panel members were Kristen Clark Williams, recent elementary education graduate of Southeastern, Ed Kennedy, former superintendent of Swink School in neighboring Choctaw County, and Susan Tate, technology and science teacher at Swink. Ms. Williams was unable to attend because of family health considerations, but her part was shared by Dr. McClanahan. Ed Kennedy was also not able to travel to Honolulu, but Ms. Tate and Dr. McClanahan were able to use Facetime on the iPad to permit Mr. Kennedy to participate live during the panel. There were over 13,000 attendees at the conference from 38 different countries.
