With TCEA 2020 in full swing, the first few days are the perfect time to take another look at the presentation schedules for each day and decide which sessions you will be attending. Dyknow is attending TCEA 2020 to connect with Texas educators , and part of this involves going to sessions that align with Ed Tech topics and initiatives to learn how educators are leading the way within the space.
