[CASL-L] CEN Conference: Call for Proposals

[Casey, Doug]

Good morning, everyone.

I warmly encourage you to consider submitting a proposal to present at the CEN Conference on May 5 **in person** at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford. The deadline for doing is December 31. Visit the event Web site to learn more at https://www.cvent.com/c/abstracts/8cf6f3a1-20b1-423a-8088-111891684808.

As you think about submitting a proposal, consider one or more of the following topics:

Library

  *   Library- grants- hotspots, and how to circulate chrome books (this could be part of best practice)
  *   Libraries: Digital Literacy Skills for Adults. Does the average adult have adequate digital literacy skills? This could work with the 4-library grant under community best practice. Focus on senior citizens, this is especially needed when telehealth is becoming more prevalent and using kindle books, etc.
  *   Help library patrons learn about cybersecurity.
  *   Innovative ways to bring a community together

Technologies that Support Teaching and Learning

  *   New Educational Tools and best practices for daily use in the classroom
  *   Collaboration using technology for teaching: example Danbury and Ridgefield schools have a book club
  *   Ubiquitous learning: learning anywhere, everywhere. Meaningful learning experiences should be at home as well, how do we bridge that gap?
  *   Artificial Intelligence and its impact on teaching and learning
  *   Immersive learning, VR, can equal the playing field for all students
  *   Virtual fieldtrips without VR headsets
  *   Assessments and technology that support grading larger classes
  *   Leveraging technology to support strategies for social-emotional learning
  *   Innovative practices for using technology for early childhood, how is it used appropriately. How can it be leveraged to meet/communicate with parents? Examples: Office of Early Childhood, distributing iPads to families.

Pedagogy

  *   Pedagogy before technology, incorporate technology to enhance learning. Strong alignment between curriculum and tech integration.

Professional Development

  *   Focus Groups/Community of Practice for professional development
  *   Teach Teachers to help students successfully collaborate remotely

Student Focused

  *   Incorporate the student voice and choice in how they use the technology
  *   Career pathways into technology for students, bring in the vendors from the floor, Career Technical Education (CTE), Workforce Strategic Plan

Accessibility

  *   Accessibility for everyone in digital environments

Best,

Doug
