WEBIT Journal
Winter 2015
IN THIS ISSUE
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.

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 take-
aways:
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.
