Description

The Emerging Technologies Symposium is a
conference devoted to the emerging and innovative
uses of technology designed to improve teaching
and learning online.

What started as a small gathering of technology
and online professionals has blossomed into one of
the best conferences around for examining the
application of online and blended tools and
instruction. The 2012 Emerging Technologies for
Online Learning Symposium offers you an
opportunity to share best practices, understand
applications, discover new technologies, and
connect to others who share a love for and belief
in the promise of educational technology.

Our symposium has a new mission statement designed
to emphasize the innovation and invention that is
the focus of the conference: A conference devoted
to the emerging and innovative uses of technology
designed to improve teaching and learning online.
Woven into the conference program and offered
within the structure of the tracks will be special
emerging technologies, sandbox, leadership, and
STEM sessions. New this year, we are excited to
offer workshops as part of the conference package.
