Just to be clear…
AECT PROPOSAL TYPES
Proposals that fit all the session types are welcomed: • Concurrent Session (30 min., 2 per hour) • Roundtable Session (60 min., 5 per hour) • Poster Session (typically 60 min.)
• Panel Sessions (typically 60 min.)
PANEL PROPOSALS
In the proposal abstract, be sure to explain 1. The purpose of the panel 2. Who will be participating 3. What expertise they bring to this panel
I recommend using an appendix to present additional information for each participant. This will most likely go over the word limits. The RTD Board are the ones reviewing these directly, so we would rather have more information than not.
PANEL PROPOSALS
The purpose of this panel is present a variety of perspectives and contexts on how mobile computing devices are being implemented in K-12 and higher education. Six panelists will briefly present their experiences with projects aimed to integrate mobile computing devices and application (app) development with courses, technology integration, teaching and learning, K-12 schools, and undergraduate and graduate courses. After the panel presents their initial experiences, audience members will be able to contribute their own experiences with mobile teaching and learning. In addition, audience members will be able to ask questions, invite recommendations, and request additional details from the panel members. Discussion and conversation will continue with the remaining time.
The participants who have agreed to participate in this panel are listed below. In addition to the following list of panelists, each participant has provided a brief biography, short descriptions of their projects with mobile computing devices, and a list of relevant presentations and publications. Additional materials are offered in an appendix.
