Have you ever considered leading a workshop at the ICE Conference? There are many valuable programs and activities each year at the conference, but the half-day and full-day workshops are certainly among the most
valuable learning opportunities. If you have a good working knowledge of
software applications or other technology resources and a passion to share your
ideas with other educators, I would encourage you to consider becoming a workshop presenter.
Full-day workshops are scheduled on Tuesday and Wednesday of
the conference week and meet from 8:30 am-3:30 pm. This schedule gives
presenters the opportunity to cover topics in much more detail than they could
in the shorter breakout sessions later in the week, and it gives participants
the time they need to practice the skills and techniques they have just
learned. Topics for these all day sessions might include specific software
applications, new and innovative lesson activities, emerging technologies, and
new Web 2.0 tools and other web-based applications. ICE pays $350 to presenters
who conduct full-day workshops.
Half-day workshops are scheduled on Thursday and Friday and
meet from 10:00 am-12:30 pm. The format is similar to the all day workshops
described above, but the time schedule is condensed so that participants can
attend these special workshops and still have time to take advantage of some of
the other conference activities. Thursday workshops are offered in labs that
are equipped with laptop computers, while the Friday workshops are offered as
“Bring Your Own Laptops (BYOL)” events so that participants can work on their
own computers. Presenters who conduct half-day workshops are paid $175 and are also given free
admission to all conference programs on the day that they present.
