Thank you for your interest in supporting the first IDEA-CON, an online conference for teachers, administrators, and teacher educators. We value your expertise, and we hope you'll contribute to make this conference the first of a new conference model for educators in our region and state.
We anticipate that our conference will use an online platform for a combination of pre-recorded and live presentations accompanied by an active Facebook Group for follow ups, live interactions, and live door prizes. Renewal credits will be provided, and there will be no charge for this conference. Our working timeline for the conference planning is as follows: May 29: Send out call for proposals and begin populating committees. Also begin identifying plenary type speakers. June 10: Deadline for proposals submitted via Google Form. June 24: Completion of proposal reviews and final notifications to presenters. July 10: Editing and uploading of submitted videos begins. July 30-31: Begin the conference - include live/synchronous portions.
