Special interest groups are a loose association of passionate educators. VSTE this year kicked off a new special interest group focused on mobile devices in education. You can learn more at our VSTEOnline site, where you can join our group. We’d love to have more passionate people for using tablets, “iDevices,” and more.
At this year’s annual conference, we’ll be hosting a session on how to form your own SIG. We invite mobile learning fans to this session - because to officially survive as a SIG, we need VSTE members to take at least 2 leadership positions. Are you the next mobile learning SIG president? As the leader of a SIG, you can provide guidance for the learning that will take place across Virginia among those passionate about using mobile devices in the classroom. Perhaps you’re interested in leveraging students’ own devices in and out of the classroom? Do you have experience to share?
If you cannot attend our session at the VSTE Conference—we’ll miss you! But we will also share our information as soon as the conference is over.
In the meantime, we recommend the following learning opportunity:
This is an upcoming webinar sponsored by ISTE’s own SIGML. Sign up to hear Elliot Soloway and Cathy Norris discuss Education in the Age of Mobilism: The Inevitable Transformation of K-12 Education! Thursday November 3rd, at 7:00 pm EST! To Register go to http://tinyurl.com/NovSIGMLwebinar.
