ITBE Tech Showcase
Do you have an interesting tech idea? Do you have a great website you like to use in your teaching? Present your idea at the ITBE Tech Showcase, a new part of the 2011 Convention.
The Tech Showcase will feature shorter, 15-minute demonstrations of cutting edge technology, including computer applications and websites. An LCD projector and internet access will be provided for Tech Showcase demonstrations, but presenters will need to bring their own laptops.
Proposals for the Tech Showcase should be also submitted through the Online Proposal webpage. Because of the nature of the Tech Showcase, session abstracts and descriptions do not need to be as long as regular 60-minute sessions.
Please Note:
Proposal submissions must be received by October 31, 2011. You will receive an email within 24 hours which confirms that we have received your proposal. If you do not receive this confirmation email, please resubmit your proposal. Selection of presentations will be made by the Program Committee. You will receive a letter regarding the status of your proposal in November.
ALL PRESENTERS MUST REGISTER FOR THE CONVENTION
