When thinking about a conference to present at I began to
run into some roadblocks. The main roadblock that presented itself was time
frame. I could not find a conference that was taking applications at this time.
The other roadblock was probably set by my own indecision, there are a
tremendous number of conferences that sound great to present at. I narrowed my
search down to just technology conferences since my CBR is on integrating
technology in the classroom through in-house professional development. I have
chosen two for different reasons. The first is the 2013 Florida Educational
Technology Conference in Orlando, Florida.
I attend this conference each year and go to many of the workshops. I
find that there are few workshops on my topic and think it would be well
received. The only drawback is they are not taking applications until May of
2012. The second conference is the Georgia Educational Technology Conference in
Atlanta, Georgia. I like this conference because it 250 concurrent sessions
being given by educators and vendors. This ones time frame is more doable with
applications being accepted starting March 2012. We will see what happens!
Finally reason to go to FETC! Really I mean it, I would like to see your CBR as it should be shared among the technology users who will likely adopt many of the practice for professional development and planing your using. I also hope that you will be focusing on that phase 3 you described last month, as the tool and community collaboration make it more than just a great science project, but build in employability skills and networking. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices. Obviously you'll need to pick the one that lets you submit your application during your month 12 (March). Good luck.
