[TOS] Computer Supported Cooperative Work

[Mel Chua]

Via my advisor, and potentially of interest to some folks here. I've met 
some of the folks on the organizing committee and they are rather cool 
-- not sure how practice-oriented this will be (or how K-12 focused) 
since the group seems geared towards "things in K-12 classrooms!" but I 
don't see a reason why TOS-type activites would be excluded. :)

We invite you to participate in the workshop: CSCW (Computer Supported
Cooperative Work) and Education: Viewing Education as a Site of Work
Practice. http://cscw-ed.getdown.org/


The workshop will take place at CSCW 2013 http://cscw.acm.org/ (ACM
Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work). The workshop will be
held on Saturday, February 23^rd , 2012 in San Antonio, Texas, USA.


Educational organizations, whether they are formal or informal, present
a work environment in which technology, and social and cultural
interactions mediate unfolding work. What opportunities does this site
of work practice hold for CSCW researchers and designers? And how might
these educational organizations benefit from the work of CSCW? This
one-day workshop will explore these and other similar questions as we
seek to build a community of researchers, designers and practitioners in
different disciplines interested in the intersection of CSCW and Education.


We are accepting 2-4 page position papers from participants that
theoretically and / or empirically relate to the topic. *These are due
by November 16, 2012.* Visit our web page for more information
