This is for our English teachers - or those who have teamed with English
teachers to do their lessons with AM resources.
If anyone goes/plans to go to the NCTE convention, please email me. I'd
love to find out more about the conference.
Thanks,
Judy

>As the NCTE annual convention rolls around, isn't it time you begin asking
>yourself, "Am I a good buddy?"
>
>The NCTE Assembly for Computers in English (ACE) is once again sponsoring
>the ACE Booth during much of the duration of the convention (in Denver),
>this time convening within the NCTE technology center. And we are looking
>for teachers who use innovative technology-inclusive techniques or who have
>class projects or student work to demonstrate their material with other
>interested teachers in the ACE Booth. We also welcome software and
>course-ware developers to set up and demonstrate their products to
>instructors who are looking for teaching ideas.
>
>The ACE Booth will be in service from 1:00-5:00 on Friday and Saturday of
>NCTE, and from 9:00-4:00 on Sunday of the convention. During that time, we
>will schedule presentations, demonstrations, and poster sessions, using the
>laptop computers in the tech center. (We also welcome participants to
>bring their own machines, if your demonstration would benefit from a larger
>display or more dynamic presentation.) Convention-goers benefit from the
>small-group demos and conversations, taking home concrete ideas on what
>they can bring to their classrooms technologywise. We have already
>scheduled several "highlight presentations" (speakers including Judi
>Kirkpatrick, Susan Lang, Michael Day, Dene Grigar, John Barber, Ted Nellen,
>Becky Rickly, and Joel English), so volunteers will be in great company.
>
>And so, if you have recently designed a classroom project, entire course,
>series of activities, or other pedagogical effort which benefits from
>technology, at any educational level and in any English-related
>environment, we invite you to become an ACE Good Buddy. If you have a
>particular insight or experience from which teachers could benefit by
>chatting with you, an ACE Good Buddy you should be. Or if you have a piece
>of educational software or courseware that teachers might be interested in
>seeing demonstrated and explained, we have an ACE Good Buddy pin with your
>name on it.
>
>To volunteer to give a presentation or demonstration, please contact Joel
>English offlist at >English offlist at jaenglis@odu.edu. Include the type of demo you will be
>presenting, a title for your presentation, and the times that you are
>available to present (and the amount of time you would like to fill)
>between 1-5 on Friday and Saturday and 9-4 on Sunday.
>
>We appreciate your participation, and we look forward to enlightening and
>beneficial discussions with teachers.
