EOSET2008

Together We Build EOSET2008

Let's focus on student-centered teaching and learning. Why not invite your students to participate in EOSET? Let them tell us about their learning experiences with technology.

We're going to use social networking so that everyone can help shape EOSET.

Format

The registration desk will open at 8:30 AM. Presenters are asked to set up their posters and/or laptop demonstrations in the space allocated to them.

The symposium will begin at 9:30 AM and wrap up at 4:35 PM.

The day will be broken up into plenary sessions consisting of several 10-minute presentations followed by a discussion. Between the sessions, there will be discussion breaks, where, over coffee and tea, participants will be encouraged to view presenters' posters and/or laptop demonstrations, engage in more detailed conversations, and explore potential partnerships.

Poster display cork boards are 4' x 4'. We will supply the necessary pushpins.

While we will provide Internet access from the podium, it may not be available for the laptop demonstration. We will keep you up to date.

Lunch

With so many restaurants near our downtown campus, we want to allow attendees the chance to get out and experience a little bit of Ottawa while they are in town. If you would like some recommendations, there is already a discussion about local restaurants at eoset2008.ning.com. We will also have sign-up sheets at the registration desk.
