Haverford College

Bryn Mawr College, Drexel University, and Haverford College are organizing a Philadelphia area Educational Technology Conference to be held February 22 at Haverford College. We invite you to submit proposals for presentations and poster sessions. We will have several formats for the presentations. Some will be standard 15-20 minute per presenter panel sessions, but we would also like to see suggestions for shorter presentations with more time for discussion and perhaps longer presenations of 30 minutes or more. In addition, we will have a poster session. When submitting your proposal, please let us know what format you'd prefer. We also welcome submissions of entire panels. Some suggested topics include the following:

* Where are we going? What's new in ed tech?
* Web 2.0
* RSS, Blogs and Wikis
* Podcasting/Screencasting
* What are our future students like?
* What are area (or national) K-12 schools doing in terms of technology
and what does that mean for us?
* Technology Literacy/Fluency
* Video Games in Education
* The impact of sites like Facebook and MySpace

Please provide a brief description of your presentation and the type of format you think it would be best suited to. Deadline for submissions is January 9, 2006.

Please email submissions to lblanken@brynmawr.edu.
