Teacher Displays

What are they?

A teacher display is a one-day "booth-style" display that provides teachers with the opportunity to share and showcase the results of their technology-rich projects or units of study through one-to-one or small group discussions. Display visuals are traditionally provided in the form of posters or other stand-up media and/or electronic displays.

While it is important to share experiences with new technologies, these displays are not intended to promote products and should instead focus on lessons learned with emerging technologies. Presenters are encouraged to keep displays as vendor neutral as possible.

When is the deadline to submit?

The deadline to submit a proposal is Wednesday, October 8, 2008 and applicants who have submitted proposals marked "complete" will be reviewed and scored during the month of October. Applicants will be notified of successful or rejected proposals by late November 2008.
