Area 7 TCEA is accepting proposals for presenting at our annual TCEA Area 7 Technology Conference to be held June 11, 2010, in White Oak ISD at White Oak Middle School (just outside of Longview, TX).
Scheduled to be featured presenters are David Jakes, Christian Long, and Jennifer Wagner along with many great Texas educators.
Our local staff who were 2010 TCEA attendees are being asked to present at least one session at our conference sharing what they learned and implemented. Maybe you are asking your teachers to do the same in your district, and this is their chance to present to others. We already have sessions lined up for iPads, wikis, learning spaces, tools for the primary teachers (Wii IWB’s), and Google Apps. But we need more!
Want to present?
The session might be a round table discussion about how to use different technologies in the classroom now and in the future, or it can demonstrate how you have used technology with your students, campus, or district this year. We would love more sessions on opensource software use, electronic portfolios, technology assessment (both educator and student), core area technology integration, elementary technology sessions, remote hosting/cloud computing, classes that have switched to electronic textbooks, and more.
Since we have all levels of educators that attend (admin, network directors, multiple grade levels, multiple levels of experience, etc), you can present on pretty much any tech topic at any level of expertise. If you presented at TCEA in Austin this year, submitted a proposal to submit (that did not get accepted), or are working on one to present at 2011 TCEA, feel free to use that same session in Area 7 for our conference. We anticipate having 50 minute sessions with 250 attendees.
We have a web form created for you to submit your session proposal online. This helps us organize the conference much easier than paper. We need to have your submission within the next three weeks in order for us to get our programs created and printed. We ask that you have everything submitted no later than the end of the school day on May 21, 2010. You will find the form here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/a/woisd.net/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dDhIUFhVWUtHTHJmX3hyRE9uWDVOYmc6MA
Want to attend?
If you are interested in just attending the event, that is okay, too. Registration is $25 for members and $30 for non-members (gets them one year of TCEA membership), and it includes the conference, luncheon, a vendor area, and a chance at plenty of door prizes. Go to the Area 7 Events page on the TCEA site for registration information. I also have updated information in the Area 7 Tech Conference Moodle located at http://moodle.tcea.org/
We look forward to a great conference on June 11th and hope to have your participation. Email me for more information – floyds@woisd.net
). I have extensive training in both New Jersey Writing and National Writing Project. I’ve studied just about every aspect of the writing process you can. While I can care less about state tests, I recall maybe one failure in the 7th grade writing test in my classes over a 10+ years at that the middle school.
– we also added an “Update indicators” setting, which lets you turn these indicators off.
