Hello Ms. Gray,
Thank you for your feedback. I have made the suggested changes to my proposal. My apologies for not following the required guidelines.
Regards,
Ayodele
Hi again -
No worries about the formatting... we're here to help you through the submission process. My next concern is that while your proposal is very worthwhile and important, I'm not clear on how it relates to the mission of our conference: http://www.globaleducationconference.com/notes/The_GEC_Mission_Stat.... This is a conference about creating opportunities for connecting classrooms and for collaborating with each other...it's not a general education conference. Is there a way you can edit your proposal and add language that indicates that you are addressing anything relating to our mission?
Thanks,
Lucy
