This Month’s Deadlines and SIG Meeting

An update from the folks at SITE.

Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education

Dear Michael Barbour,

This is an exciting month for all things SITE.

October 17th, 2021, is the proposal deadline for the SITE Spring Conference (April 11-15). The conference will consist of both virtual and on location presentations. If you are able, we hope to see you in-person in San Diego. You can learn more about this year’s conference here: https://site.aace.org/conf/call/

If you simply cannot wait to see everyone again, we encourage you to attend the SITE Interactive virtual conference later this month, October 26th-28th. Authors whose proposals were accepted for the conference should register by October 14th. More information can be found here: https://site.aace.org/online/

Lastly, during the SITE Interactive conference we will host a FREE SIG Meeting. This was something we did last year. It was a great opportunity to see everyone and provided us with some planning for the Spring conference. We will send another email with SIG meeting information when we get closer to the conference.

As always, thank you for you support of the K-12 Online Learning SIG and the work that you do for the field of information technology and teacher education.

Sincerely,
K-12 Online Learning Chairs
Qijie Cai and Cecil R. Short
