  The call for presenters for the first annual CyTSE Conference is now available!

 

  CyTSE will convene researchers, developers, and educational leaders interested in 

  cyberlearning tools to enhance STEM teaching and learning. There will be hands-on demos,

  training workshops, interactive breakout sessions, focus groups, and more during the two-day

  conference.  A goal of the conference is to bring together the cyberlearning R&D community

  and K-12 educators to learn with and from each other.

 

  We welcome principal investigators, project teams and K-12 educators to attend and present

  at the conference. The conference will allow you to network with others working in the

  exciting field of cyberlearning, demo your work, and share best practices. We currently are

  accepting proposals for breakout sessions, hands-on demos, professional development, focus

  groups, and more. You are welcome to submit proposals for more than one type of session.

 

  Please visit our website cyberlearningSTEM.org to download the call for presenter form. The

  deadline for submissions is October 15, 2010. Presentation slots are limited so submit your 

  proposal today!

 

  The conference is scheduled for the two days immediately preceding NSTA in San Francisco

  to allow participants to easily attend both conferences and save on travel costs. 

  Transportation from CyTSE to NSTA will be provided for participants. 

 

  We have lined up a strong and inspiring slate of CyTSE 2011 keynote speakers!
