The 7th Annual SLATE Conference is now accepting submissions for the 2009 Conference to be held on October 15-16, 2009 in Chicago, IL. This conference has become a premier event in the Midwest and has attracted participants from around the world in higher-ed, K-12, government, and the corporate sector. Here is your opportunity to share your experiences and expertise with friends and colleagues.

We invite submissions covering a broad range of topics that relate to best practices, innovative, engaging, and pedagogically sound uses of technology in teaching and learning. The conference theme of "build it better," hopes to get you thinking about asking the next question, exploring new possibilities, and discovering sound teaching models that can be implemented in online, distance education and traditional classroom instruction on your own campus.

Some of the topics presented at last years conference included:
  • Using Podcasting to Meet the Needs of Millennial Students
