ISTE+2010+Call+for+Participation

=CALL FOR PARTICIPATION - ISTE 2010 PRESENTATIONS AND WORKSHOPS = The Special Interest Group for Computing Teachers (SIGCT) of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) invites your proposal submissions for presentations and workshops at the ISTE 2010 Conference (formerly known as the National Educational Computing Conference - NECC)...to be held June 27 - June 30, 2010 in Denver, Colorado. This international venue provides educators a forum in which to learn about current development in various technologies; to share ideas and experiences on teaching about technology; to gain new skills and insights in using technology; to network with other technology educators; and to discuss emerging technology trends. Through these activities, the primary focus is to enhance your ability to provide exemplary technology education (including ICT/CTE and computer science). You are invited to participate in ISTE 2010 by making a presentation, organizing a panel discussion, presenting a research paper or poster, or conducting a demonstration or workshop. ISTE SIGCT particularly encourages presentations and workshops related to advancing the practice of teaching about computing in PK-12 education that meets needs both for all students and for those wishing to study some aspect of the discipline in more depth. As such, submissions are invited for a wide range of topics from the more traditional computer science, to computational thinking, to related information technology areas including web development, information systems/database development, and networking/systems knowledge and support.

All proposals must be submitted online. The online submission form, including complete details and instructions, will be available starting September 9, 2009. The firm deadline for proposal submissions is October 7, 2009. Final acceptance and regret notifications will be sent by mid-December. For assurance of consideration by the SIGCT review committee, proposals should be designated for either the Computer Science or Computer Use and Skills/ICT/CTE strand.
