Greetings to the Global Education Collaborative Community -
On behalf of myself and my conference co-chair, let me extend a warm hello to all members of our professional learning network. It's amazing that almost 1000 people have joined this space in the last month and over 200 proposals have been submitted by those seeking to share their work and expertise November 14-18. It's clear that excitement is building as the 2011 Global Education Conference draws near and we appreciate the enthusiasm of everyone involved thus far!
This is just a quick email to let you know a few important things about proposals:
- CORRECTION! The call for proposals ends Tuesday, November 1 at 12:00 AM PST which is the same as Tuesday, November 1 07:00 UTC.
- Proposals are being approved on a rolling basis.
- If you have a session approved, please self-schedule your time to present during the week of November 14-18.
- Presenters should also join the presenter's group to be kept informed of developments.
- If your presentation was not accepted, don't despair! Please edit it and consider resubmitting!
- Make sure your proposal is in the required format.
- Also, make sure you include language that shows how your ideas relate to the mission of the conference.
