A new year means a new look for UCET! UCET has supported Utah teachers using technology since 1981. In 1992, UCEE transitioned to what we now know as UCET (Utah Coalition for Educational Technology). UCET has had many different logos throughout the decades, but we are excited to update our logo and give UCET a fresh look for 2022. Even though we have a new logo, UCET is the same organization providing Utah educators with quality professional development opportunities and experiences.

UCET 2022: Connect Call for Presentations
Now Open
UCET 2022 will be held on March 15-16, 2022 and will be a hybrid conference, with keynotes and selected sessions available online live!
-
Ignite! In 5 minutes and with 20 images come and inspire teachers! Share 20 slides in 5 minutes and inspire teachers (think of a mini TED event) Presenters will have just five minutes and 20 slides each to share their passions, tell their stories, or share their experiences in a continuous rapid-fire presentation! Presenter slides are shown for 15 seconds each on an automatic rotation for a total of 5 minutes of fame. By sharing what ignites their passions—a professional practice from the classroom, excitement about a new tool that will spark creativity for their students, or a personal story of student engagement– Ignite presenters will fan the flames for their fellow attendees while awakening their awareness, stimulating their thought, or spurring them to action.
