I am actively seeking people to present for the Thursday morning sharathon.  It will basically be a series of simultaneous poster sessions.  Think science fair :-).  I have a number of informal commitments, but I need more people.  Each presentation will be >30 minutes and be a specific example of a technology-enhanced lesson.  The idea is to get as diverse a group of lessons as possible, representing a wide variety of technologies and strategies (clickers, smart board, webquests, virtual tours, digital storytelling, multimedia projects, educational simulations, video games in the classroom, educational blogging, wikis, pod/vodcasting, mind mapping software, etc.). 

So, any tips of people to contact?

In addition, I need to create a proposal submission for and I want to put it on this site.  I just emailed Jon Laabs about getting a copy of the official LEA proposal submission form.  We should be able to use much/most of that.  Jack, are you ready to help me turn that into a form for this site? :-)

In addition, I have a vision for a large open space with a big screen and sound system.  This will be for the pep talk presentation.  Then there will be six tables scattered around the room, each with speakers, a 23ish inch LCD flat panel, and a laptop.

We will also have little clips on the big screen between the 5-minute transition periods.  Everything involved will have a little passport and some riddles to solve.  That will lead to some prizes at the end. 

Other ideas?

We can eaisily create a form that would have people sign up and "Agree To Terms". Once you get the form from Jon I'll create the "Terms" space and get you a form module built.

Hey Dave, any chance we can get the Ning folks over to LutheranEducation.net? They would be a GREAT test group for the site.

Thanks Jack.  Michael has a copy of the general presenters proposal form.  As soon as I get it from him, I will tweak it and touch base further for help creating the form.
