MAC Wk2: Presentations Abound

I am planning on presenting my AR Project. I found out Friday that my presentation was accepted at one the two conferences.

The first one is at the MoreNet M3 conference held on October 22-26, 2012 in Osage Beach, Missouri. This is the blurb from their site. "MOREnet’s NEW once-a-year megaconference will bring together teachers, faculty, CIOs, administrators, librarians and technical staff from each of MOREnet’s member communities. It will be designed to accommodate attendees who want to come for just a two-day event or for the entire megaconference. The choice will be yours and it will bring with it more session choices, bigger keynotes and exciting new networking opportunities"

I was picked to present under the topic of Virtual Classrooms:


    • Effective Teaching Strategies in a Virtual Classroom

    • Building, Teaching and Collaborating in a Virtual Classroom

    • Tools for a Virtual Classroom (Moodle, Google Apps, etc.).
I chose to submit an application to this conference because: 1) they were taking them, 2) MoreNet is the company that provides our school with Internet, and 3) The conference is close to home.

The second conference is the Missouri State Teacher's Association (MSTA) State Conference held on November 15-16 in Kansas City, MO. I chose to apply to this conference because I am a member of this teacher's organization, and they were still taking applications for workshops!

In addition, Prof. Bustillos is nudging me to publish as well. So, I contacted MSTA's membership magazine, "School & Community," and they are willing to publish my project as well as write an article. They indicated that they did not know at this time, which issue it would be, but they would contact me before the end of the month.

I have contacted "THE Journal: Technological Horizons in Education" magazine, and "eSchool News: Technolgy News for Todays K20 Educator." I have not heard back from either one. I choose these two publications because of their online and paper formats.
