Mark your calendars, budget, and plan now for the 29th annual National Educational Computing Conference. Join more than 18,000 teachers, technology coordinators, library media specialists, teacher educators, administrators, policy makers, industry representatives, and students from all over the world who’ll gather June 29–July 2 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center on the San Antonio River Walk.
ISTE is now accepting presentation proposals for NECC 2008. Submission opportunities are divided into four major categories and a variety of themes & strands. Dynamic, energetic presenters interested in engaging their audiences in innovative ways should especially consider submitting proposals for the highly interactive Model Lesson and BYOL categories that debuted in 2007 to positive audience response.
We also invite you to help us develop content and/or participate in the following two session categories:
• Problem/Solution Panels—moderated panel featuring three or more independent presenters selected to share and discuss their solutions to a common Ed Tech challenge.
• Playground—informal, day-long presentations featuring interactive hands-on demonstrations of technologies and resources available for 21st-century media centers, art, assistive technology, gaming, math/science, music, open source, and virtual worlds.
Both ISTE member and non-member educators and students at all levels, nationally and internationally, are invited to submit. We also welcome corporate-sponsored proposals from exhibitors. The deadline for submission is October 3, 2007.
