IN THIS ISSUE
What is WEBIT? Last year, the Wisconsin Business Education Association proposed a name and identity change to better reflect the role of Business and Information Technology Educators in Wisconsin. The proposed name change was Wisconsin Educators of Business and Information Technology (WEBIT). The purpose of the change is to provide a better reflection of the role of Business and Information Technology teachers in Wisconsin and the education they provide to students in the state. In May 2014, a survey was sent to the general WBEA membership with a selection of six potential new logo designs. Twenty-nine members responded with an overwhelming response for the logo pictured above. The marketing committee, within
the executive board, will continually develop marketing materials to promote the new logo and name. In addition to the name and logo change, members should bookmark a new and improved site at, www.webitonline.org, in addition to an updated Journal format, and last, a new registration system through MemberClicks. The WEBIT Executive Board hopes that members are excited for these changes! A special thanks to WEBIT Webmaster, Katie Grassel, for all her hard work on transferring information over to the new website, and to Josh Firgens, CIO, for his diligence on moving our registration system over to MemberClicks.

2014 Convention Recap by Becky Ackermann and Jen Bishop, WEBIT Co-Presidents
A huge THANK YOU to all who were involved in the planning and organizing of the 2014 Fall Convention as well as those who took time out of their busy personal and professional lives to attend. Our keynote speaker, Molly Schroeder delivered a thought-provoking and inspiring message on “Living in Beta”. Here are just a few of the takeaways: Inspire moonshot thinkers Don’t be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try Teach your students to “ask 3 before me” - Google, YouTube, a friend If a video can replace you as the teacher, it probably should
What’s in your “educational graveyard” and what should be? (devices, units, pedagogy?)
“Mind the gap” - what’s the learning that took place, not just the test results What are the last 4 globally collaborative projects you’ve done with your students? It shouldn’t be difficult to come up with this list of four Show the edge of you; bring the students with you when you explore and learn Capture accidents. A wrong answer is the right answer to a different question
As the two days of convention went on, we were more than impressed with the presenters and the information, knowledge, and experience they were able to share with us all. We sure do have amazing colleagues that we can learn so much from! If you missed convention this year, MAKE SURE YOU GET TO CONVENTION IN 2015! You won’t be disappointed.
