[TOS] CSTA CFP Deadline

[Leslie Hawthorn]

Hello folks,

Apologies if this has already been sent to the list:


There are only six days left to submit your session or workshop proposal
for the annual CSTA Conference (to be held July 15-16 2013, in Quincy, MA
(just outside Boston)).



The CSTA 2013 Program Committee seeks proposal submissions related to the
practice of teaching and learning computer science and information
technology in K–12. Proposals will be accepted for one-hour presentations
or panels or for three-hour workshops.



The deadline for proposals is *January 24, 2013*. Review of proposals will
occur shortly thereafter and notification of decision will be made on or
about March 7, 2013.  Successful proposers should expect to be asked to
submit a reasonably final copy of their presentation by June 20, 2013.



We desire a varied program of interest to all teachers of computing in K-12
education.  All submission will be evaluated on the following criteria:

·      technical quality,

·      writing and presentation,

·      relevance to CSTA (focus on K-12 computer science or information
technology).

Preference will be given to workshop proposals that are largely hands-on
activities.



Proposers are required to:

·      identify all presenters

·      provide an overview of the session

·      describe the intended audience (level, knowledge, …)

·      indicate session activity in sufficient detail for an informed
decision

·      discuss presenter background and presentation experience



All proposals will be submitted through the online symposium submission
system that can be found at:



*https://www.softconf.com/d/csta2013/*



If you encounter a problem, contact Duncan Buell at: buell at acm.org.



Presenters will have the use of a computer projector and screen.  Proposers
should describe any unusual infrastructure, A/V equipment, or lab facility
needed; it *may* be possible to accommodate such requests but this cannot
be guaranteed.



Additional conference details can be found at:

We look forward to receiving your proposals and to your attendance at the
symposium.



CSTA 2013 is generously sponsored by the Oracle, Microsoft, and Microsoft
Research (confirming ABI).
