BOONEVILLE, Miss. -- (05/24/2023) — In a shift to meet the growing demand for professional development and high-tech learning experiences in an already packed summer schedule, Northeast Mississippi Community College's Jeffrey Powell Mobile Learning Conference organizers have made the decision to transition to a fully online format for this summer's three-day conference.

Northeast's Jeffrey Powell Mobile Learning Conference, which is known for its commitment to exploring how technology intersects with education, is now also free to educators across the globe thanks to corporate sponsors that have given the conference a platform to exchange highly immersive ideas and strategies that will not only affect higher education but K-12 education as well.

Conference organizers recognized the evolving preferences and needs of educators, not only in the tri-state area but around the world and with the demand for virtual learning skyrocketing during the global pandemic, Northeast stepped up to the challenge to offer its top-ranked technology conference to the masses.

Those interested in registering for the conference, which is free of charge, can visit https://2023mobilelearning.sched.com/ and fill out their conference information and review the itinerary and speakers for the three-day event.

This year's conference, which is slated to take place via Zoom June 7-9, will enable educators to sharpen their skills and share ideas from the comfort of wherever they choose - from their homes, their vacation accommodations or schools.

For educators and others, who are looking to pick up Continuing Education Units (CEUs) for renewal of their teaching certificates, Northeast's Office of Continuing Education is offering two (2) CEUs for completion of 20 sessions during the three-day event for a nominal fee.

Thanks to the support of corporate sponsors, the conference is also 100-percent free to all educators and due to the sponsor support, the conference has eliminated any financial barriers, ensuring that educators from diverse backgrounds can benefit from the wealth of knowledge and expertise shared during the event.

During the 2020 Mobile Learning Conference at the height of the global pandemic, Northeast made its conference free to those who wanted to attend and drew in over 2,000 participants to the event.

Northeast's Jeffrey Powell Mobile Learning Conference is named after former Tiger Instructional Technology Specialist Jeffrey Powell, the conference's founder, who helped the Mobile Learning Conference become a hub for educators looking to harness technology in their classroom.

Throughout the years, the conference has provided a platform for sharing innovative teaching strategies for keeping students energized in learning while fostering connections among educators across the work, who are expounding on the boundaries of what is possible with technology in the classroom.

Northeast's 2023 Jeffrey Powell Mobile Learning Conference boasts an impressive lineup of speakers, who are at the forefront of the educational technology revolution.

From renown experts in their respective fields to innovative K-12 and higher education practitioners, Northeast organizer Dr. Carlena Benjamin has gathered a diverse group of presenters for this year's conferences. Attendees will have the opportunity to gain experience from presenters across the tri-state area and the United States and gather insights from their experiences about the latest trends and developments in technology-enhanced teaching and learning.

To explore the speakers' profiles and their fields of expertise or to look at the conference agenda, participants can visit the conference's official website at https://www.nemcc.edu/mobilelearning/.

Northeast's website provides participants with detailed information about each speaker and the sessions that they will be leadings, so that educators can tailor their Mobile Learning Conference experience to suit their professional goals and interests.

By making the change to a virtual and free format for the 2023 Jeffrey Powell Mobile Learning Conference, Northeast aims to not only foster collaboration and inspire innovation but to help improve teaching and learning practices worldwide.

Educators interested in attending the virtual 2023 Jeffrey Powell Mobile Learning Conference held by Northeast Mississippi Community College are encouraged to apply early and join a global community of like-minded, innovative educators.
