    Call for Proposals

    Are you interested in teaching, technology and transliteracy?

    Do you use your students’ fluency across media, modes, and disciplines to their and your advantage?

    Are you using technology to extend learning in the classroom (physical or virtual)?

    Are you experienced in successfully blending technology into your teaching?

    If you’ve answered yes to any of these questions, the conference planning committee for The 3 T’s: Exploring New Frontiers in Teaching, Technology, and Transliteracy wants YOU to consider submitting a proposal.

    Co-sponsored by SUNY FACT2 and the SUNY Librarians Association Working Group for Information Literacy (SUNYLA WGIL), The 3 T’s: Exploring New Frontiers in Teaching, Technology, and Transliteracy is a one-day conference focused on placing pedagogical theory at the foundation of seamless, engaging and productive teaching practice when infusing various technologies into the classroom experience. Educators, Faculty, Instructional Designers, and Librarians hailing from K-12 and higher education institutions will gather in Johnstown, NY at Fulton-Montgomery Community College on March 25, 2011 to share their successes, challenges and overall understanding of the theory to practice connection.

    Proposals should address the following questions:

    How have you drawn upon student transliteracy to support learning?
    How have underlying principles and theories guided your inclusion of a specific technology or technologies in the classroom?
