GaETC 2012 will feature over 250 one-hour concurrent sessions presented by educators and vendors, with special sessions by featured speakers and conference sponsors.

Concurrent Session Types

  • Concurrent:  A concurrent session is a formal, one-hour presentation in lecture or demonstration format given to a seated audience; it could include small-group activities.
  • Smackdown Sessions: Love a fast moving session? Enjoy interacting with others? Know of a great gadget or program to share? Then these sessions are for you! Come and grab your two minutes of fame in a fast-moving "Smackdown" session. Participants will have about two minutes of floor time to share something "techie" that they find valuable in this exciting and ever-changing world of educational technology
  • Birds of a Feather Sessions: Sometimes it's nice not to have a pre-planned agenda! Birds of a Feather sessions are loose gatherings of like-minded people who wish to freely discuss topics of importance to them. Sometimes a guest speaker is showcased to kick-start the conversations, and other times there may be an open mic with only a minimal opening statement.GaETC Wiki: Presentation Resources 

All sessions at GAETC are considered BYOT sessions! Presenters should be prepared to take advantage of whatever technology users may bring.
