Call for Presentations

Are you teaching with vision? Are you a visionary teacher? Here’s a chance for you to share your great teaching and learning activities and inspire other educators. Submit your proposal by 30 June 2012 by using the form below.

All sessions are 25 minutes. A limited number of presentations will be virtual – if you have access to high quality video conferencing you can indicate this on the submission form.

The theme for 2012 is Link and Learn.

We have a number of interesting streams this year:

• Mix it up: Tell us how you’re mixing and matching various technologies and learning activities.
• Learning spaces: If you’ve thrown out the desks, let us know what your learning spaces look like and how students use them.
• Edgy escapades: For those who are really on the cutting edge – excite and inspire us!
• Virtual excursions: If you’re a museum, art gallery or any type of organisation providing education programs via video conference, share your experiences with others who are both new and experienced.
• Let’s get technical: For technicians and any interested educators to share how they manage what makes it all work.

This conference is always infused with practical ideas that are easy to implement when delegates return to their everyday teaching. We’re asking you to share your experience and advice with educators who come from all sectors: K-12, VET and Universities. This is not a research conference so papers are not refereed. If you have a great teaching and learning story that fits into one of the steams above, please complete the submission form.

Discount for Presenters

All presenters will be given a discounted registration fee. While we welcome joint presentations, experience has shown that having no more than two presenters at a time is most effective. On this basis, we encourage single presenters by offering a discount conference fee of $395. Second presenters will be given the Super Early Bird discount rate of $595. If you submit a proposal and are unsuccessful, we’ll offer you the Super Early Bird discount rate to attend as a delegate.
