Join us for an exciting day sharing and exploring the many different ways faculty are incorporating technology into their curriculums in an effort to prepare students for working in the cyberworld of tomorrow.

Who should attend?

Faculty, administrators, professionals, and anyone interested in finding ways to improve and better prepare students for the world of work.  We encourage educators in all disciplines, both SUNY and non SUNY, to attend and participate. Students are also invited.

Conference Topics

Conference topics are broad and flexible. Suggested topics include how technologies, methods, and strategies such as e-portfolios, blogs, multimedia, gaming, simulations, videos, web quests, projects, collaboration, and experiential learning can be used to develop the personal attributes needed to succeed in business or the workplace.  These attributes can consist of specific subject matter knowledge in an area such as e-commerce, management, programming, etc., or more generic abilities such as development of people skills, communication proficiency, self direction, motivation, lifetime learning, problem solving and critical thinking ability.  Cyberworld issues such as privacy, security, law, and ethics may also be included.

Abstracts are due March 3, 2008.
