The Association
of Small Computer Users in Education, ASCUE, is seeking proposals
from faculty and staff for presentations at its 36th Annual Summer Conference.
Proposals should focus on issues in information technology that are
of general interest to educational institutions. Proposals on any relevant
topic are acceptable, but those that support the conference theme, “Collaborating,
Communicating, and Connecting Using Technology in Education,”
are particularly welcome.
We
invite you to become a part of this dynamic conference!
Session Format:
Session presentations
are limited to 45 minutes, including time set aside for audience questions
and engagement. They can be in traditional paper, panel, demonstration,
or tutorial format. Presentations will be printed in the Conference
Proceedings that are distributed at the conference and submitted to
the Educational Resource Information Center for inclusion in the ERIC
database.
Pre-Conference
Workshops and Seminars:
In addition to
presenters for the main conference program, we are seeking individuals
to lead 6 hour full-day or 3 hour half-day workshops or seminars for
the pre-conference program on Sunday, June 8. The workshops, held
in computer labs at Horry-Georgetown Technical College, provide hands-on
learning with specific technologies such as the Web or multimedia.
Seminars are classroom-style presentations, held at Ocean Creek, that
explore important topics in the application of education technologies.
These workshops and seminars have been very successful at past conferences
and help set the tone for the conference.
