PRESENT

This year we're especially interested in proposals that focus on technology's role in developing the future of learning technologies and the ways these technologies can engage students and transform education. What's our collective vision? How do we carry that vision forward into reality? Can we develop an intentional course toward that better future? What role do standards play? We invite proposals that address these questions through the lens of:

• leadership skills
• student skills and knowledge
• emerging technologies and learning environments

Exhibitor submissions are juried along with the other submissions. The online submission option form will be available on the NECC Web site at www.iste.org/necc on September 2, 2008. The deadline for proposal submissions is October 8, 2008. The Call for Participation, which includes descriptions of the various categories of submissions, including workshops, is now available on the NECC Web site. See the program information on the online submission form for the definition of exhibitor-sponsored presentations, the criteria by which they are reviewed, and other general information. With the exception of CEO Spotlight Sessions (available only through Tier One and Two sponsorship), this is your only opportunity to host juried program sessions at NECC 2009.
