We are now accepting proposals to present at Dynamic Landscapes 2.0 held at Champlain College in Burlington, VT on May 13 & 14, 2010.

We are looking for a wide variety of applications of effective uses of
technology in the classroom and the library including examples of
integration using a wide variety of technology tools and applications.

We seek practical as well as cutting edge examples of how
technology can facilitate and extend learning in the school environment
and beyond.

We are looking for workshops in three formats

  • Regular one hour presentation style sessions – this is our greatest need.
  • Double hands-on sessions in a lab environment – we will offer two of these each day.
  • Double hands-on sessions where people bring their own laptops with them and needed software installed in advance.

The third format is often best used when showcasing a project someone has
completed and then using a part of the session to do hands-on work on
how to use the application or Web 2.0 tool or site that was used to
accomplish the project.

Please consider sharing your expertise and experience with your fellow
classroom teachers and librarians at Dynamic Landscapes 2.0. You will
receive free admission to the conference on the day you present* and
have a chance to network and share ideas with some of Vermont’s finest
educators! Write-ups are due no later than February 19, 2010.  The earlier the better!

Please send a write-up with a creative title and description with no more than
75 words.  Please remember it is the quality of your write-up that
draws people to your session.  

Please include the following information along with your write up.

Position:

Co-presenters are welcome but only one person gets a complementary admission.*  If
you wish to bring students please contact me for additional information.

A computer, projection system, screen and speakers will be provided and
rooms will have Internet access.  We do encourage you to bring your own
laptop with needed software already installed. Please specify if you
have any special equipment or other needs and I will let you know if we
are able to accommodate your request.

Write-ups are due no later than February 19, 2010.  I encourage you to have them in well before that if at all possible.  You will be notified soon after as to the status of your presentation proposal.

Please send your proposals to ebarry@mtsd-vt.org If you have any questions or you wish to bounce possibilities off me, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks.
