Hello fellow Ambassadors,
I've signed up to present on how I, and a college professor, implemented
the Wikipedia Education Program in a class with undergraduate students in
the Global STEMx Virtual
Conference<http://stemxcon.com/page/2013-conference>ce>.
My workshop is titled "Transforming learners into global citizens through
Wikipedia<http://stemxcon.com/forum/topics/transforming-learners-into-gl…
and is scheduled for Friday, 9/20 at 9:00am EST. This is a totally open,
free, virtual conference that truly is global.
I've also submitted proposals to present at the Homeschool/Unschool/Democratic
Education conference <http://www.homeschoolconference.com/> (also totally
open, free, online and global), and Computers in
Libraries<http://www.infotoday.com/cil2014/CallForSpeakers.asp>(unfor…nately,
not free or virtual, but still a good conference). I do not
yet have the links (or even know if my proposal will be accepted) at these
latter conferences yet. However, I wanted to send out this announcement as *all
of these conferences are still accepting (and still need) good presenters,
and I can't think of a better way to get out there and reach a LOT of
global educators!!*
Please join me and submit a proposal to present--you can make a
presentation from 20-45 minutes in length, virtually, from any computer in
the world. *Also, sign up as a participant, or as a conference volunteer to
assist in moderating sessions! Since this is a free conference, they really
need help in any way they can get it.*
Thank you!
