Call for Presentations
ECOO2013: Bring IT, Together
THANK YOU! Our Call for Presentation Proposals is now closed.
We are extremely excited about this year’s annual conference, Bring IT, Together! — and we are very pleased with the response to our Call for Presentation Proposals. You have definitely come through in offering to share your expertise as we continue to support Ontario’s learners, educators, administrators and support professionals, schools, districts, and education technology companies in this dynamic time.
Our Conference Committee is now charged with the significant task of carefully reviewing all of the proposals, and working to build for you the very best, balanced, and engaging program possible. This is always one of the most challenging, yet rewarding parts of preparing for our annual conference, and we have already begun the process. We will be contacting presenters in May, and are aiming to share our program with you by the beginning of June.
Again, thank you for offering to help us Bring IT, Together! And we will see you at the Falls in October !
Our conference this year will be October 23rd-25th, 2013 at the Scotiabank Convention Centre in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
We’re hoping you will take your experience in learning and Bring IT Together with your colleagues from around the province and indeed, the world. We are Ontario’s showcase for innovation and excellence in education. and look forward to seeing the diversity of learning approaches involving technology that you can offer to our community.
Sessions are typically one hour long (but we’re open to your ideas!) and you will have access to the internet and a projector (and a whiteboard if needed). We also welcome ideas for the all-day preconference as well as poster sessions and model classrooms. We encourage you to be imaginative in content, process and product. We’re here to support you sharing your story with participants so let us know what you’re thinking.
We’d like to hear from educators from across the entire province and beyond. We welcome both the novice and expert presenter — if this is your first time, we’re happy to support you in sharing your experiences.
/>The following page will allow you to enter your proposal. You will notice we are asking for the least amount of information necessary to make our selection. More in-depth information (full contact information, tags, photographs, materials, equipment needs, etc) will be collected after we have designed our program. For each session, there will be one Lead Presenter (who will receive one day free at the conference). If you are presenting with others, just provide a list of co-presenters’ names. We regret we can only offer the Lead Presenter a free conference day. This call for presentations will close on April 19th, after which the ECOO committee will meet, discuss and confirm the accepted sessions, and then decide on the schedule.
And shortly after that, we will all Bring IT Together in Niagara Falls for a most remarkable annual conference! (Keep your eyes open for upcoming details — this promises to be a great learning event!)

Thanks again, and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
