Virtual Conference

Have you been bridging gaps?

Creating connections that matter?

Want to share an experience or lesson idea?

We are looking for you!

We will have a variety of formats including: Ignite sessions, Traditional Presentations, Panel Discussions, Poster sessions, and Talk with an Expert sessions.

We are looking for technology tools that create connections, build capacity to meet a variety of standards, and empower creating with students.

We are looking for examples of projects, lessons, and resources that address intersections of standards: ISTE, AASL, C3 Framework, and Next Gen Science.

We are looking for collaborative teams to share both successes and struggles of working together while innovating, inventing, or integrating curriculum.

We are looking for engaging, hands on, innovative, out of the box presentations!

We have accepted our proposals for our virtual sessions. Thanks!

The ACTEM 2020 Conference Committee is seeking proposals that reflect success in the fields of educational technology informed by theory, research, and practice and that can be presented virtually, either live or pre-recorded.

The committee invites proposals that demonstrate innovation and cutting edge content, stimulate and provoke discussion and audience engagement, and empower participants with strategies for teaching and learning.

In sharing your successful practices you inspire administrators, educators, technology integrationists and coaches to partner and prepare lessons that will stimulate learning for all students.

Prepare a Proposal

You should do all writing prior to starting a Proposal submission. You may copy and paste into the Proposal form.

The only formatting possible within the form is the use of linefeeds (return, enter). Don't attempt to use styles and indents, etc.

1) Identify Your Conference Session Format

Be sure your plans fit within the style and time constraints of the selected format. Be flexible in that your session could be offered as a pre-recorded session with possible live Q and A.

2) Create a Catchy Title

Keep it short. (Fewer than 75 characters)Be sure it relates to what you will be presenting.

Avoid flashy phrases that lack meaning.

3) Identify Your Audience

What grade levels / age groups does your topic target?

Who should be hearing what you have to say? (Classroom teachers? Librarians? Media Specialists? Tech Teachers? Administrators or Coordinators? )

4) Create a Session Description to be Published in the Conference App

Be direct and brief. (3 - 4 sentences)

Be specific. Consider: Who? What? When? Where? Why? How?

Let people know they have to come to your presentation because of its relevancy to their teaching.

What Activities & Takeaways can the participants expect?

This is your chance to attract an audience. (Again, avoid flashy phrases that lack meaning.)

Thanks for your proposals!

SUBMIT ONE OR MORE PROPOSALS

The Conference Committee will consider all proposals based on alignment with the Standards, the quality of the proposal, and the relevance to the Conference. Proposals will be considered in the order that they are submitted.

If you wish to submit more than one proposal, return to this page after completing the first proposal to begin the second. (Go here to see what the conference committee is looking for to round out this conference.)
