VITA-Learn and VSLA are pleased to announce their joint sponsorship of a two-day conference at Champlain College on May 19 & 20, 2011.

We are now REQUESTING PROPOSALS FOR PRESENTATIONS at //“Dynamic Landscapes 2.0: Providing a Vision for Success”//

We are looking for a wide variety of applications of effective uses of technology in the classroom and the library including examples of integration using a wide variety of technology tools and applications.

We are looking for practical as well as cutting edge examples of how technology can facilitate and extend learning in the school environment and beyond.

We are looking for workshops in two formats


 * 1) Regular one hour presentation style sessions – this is our greatest need.


 * 1) Double hands-on sessions where people bring their own laptops with them and needed software installed in advance.

The second format is often best used when showcasing a project someone has completed and then using a part of the session to do hands-on work on how to use the application or Web 2.0 tool or site that was used to accomplish the project.

Please consider sharing your expertise and experience with your fellow classroom teachers and librarians at Dynamic Landscapes 2.0. You will receive free admission to the conference on the day you present* and have a chance to network and share ideas with some of Vermont’s finest educators! __Write-ups are due no later than February 28, 2011. The earlier the better!__

Please send a write-up with a creative title and description with no more than 75 words. //Please remember it is the quality of your write-up that draws people to your session.//

**Please note if you wish a single session, double session or if you could adapt to either.**

Co-presenters are welcome but only one person gets a complementary admission.* If you wish to bring students please contact me for additional information.

A computer, projection system, screen and speakers will be provided and rooms will have Internet access. We do encourage you to bring your own laptop with needed software already installed. Please specify if you have any special equipment or other needs and I will let you know if we are able to accommodate your request.
