1. Current Issues include theoretical discussions of technology and teacher 

preparation. Articles address technology and teacher education, assessment, 

attitudes, beliefs, curriculum, equity, research, translating research 

into practice, learning theory, alternative concepts, sociocultural issues, 

special populations, and integration of subjects. 

2. Current Practice offers brief, up-to-the-minute snapshots of technology in 

practice. 

3. Seminal Articles republish classic works that are landmarks in technology 

and teacher education.

with your own areas of interest is invaluable. 

Building communities of focused research and 

interest ensures a strong foundation that will 

support future growth and exploration.” 

PAnELS 

Presentation time: 1 hour 


Proceedings length: 6 pages maximum for each paper 


A Panel, consisting of 3-5 people (including the chair), present their views on a 

common theme, issue, or question, and then to discusses them with the audience. 

The Panel must present an opportunity for the audience to hear well reasoned 

arguments and discussions about pertinent topics as seen from a variety of 

viewpoints. For example, 'on-line testing' could be a Panel discussion with 

panelists presenting arguments in support of, and in opposition to, testing. 

Panels must include the audience. Thus, the panelists should take no more 

than 30, of the total 60 minutes, to make their case and then guide the audience 

through a discussion and series of questions and answers. In an effort 

to present differing viewpoints, it is a requirement that panelists can NOT all 

represent the same institution, research project, or association. 

Panel selection will be based on the importance, originality, focus and timeliness 

of the topic; expertise of proposed panelists; as well as the potential for 

informative AND controversial discussion. 

Panels must allot at least 50% of the time for interaction and discussion 

with the audience. 

The Panel leader should provide an abstract describing the panel and a 

submission file with the following sections that describe the panel: 

1) introduction that links the theme to the literature and its significance for 

the field of information technology and teacher education, around 150 

word abstracts of each panelists' perspective, 

2) list of panelists' perspective titles and authors, with their organizations, 

and countries in the order they will be presented, and 

3) outline of how the panel will be organized. After acceptance, the Panel 

coordinator will be given the option to invite Panel authors to submit their 

papers to a specific website. Until then, authors should NOT submit their 

individual papers for the Panel. Contributing authors may choose to publish 

their papers in the Proceedings as a Full or Brief Paper. The Panel 

abstract will only appear in the conference Abstract book. 

RoUndtABLES 

Presentation time: 1 hour 



AV equipment provided: Internet if wireless card & PC brought, electricity 

These sessions allow maximum interaction in informal, small-group discussions 

on a single topic. The format is appropriate for papers, projects, or workin-progress 

that encourage discussion. Roundtables share a room with 2-3 

other concurrently held Roundtables. 

If you wish to bring a PC, you could demonstrate a new piece of software, 

illustrate the process of using it, show participants some of the complexities 

and tricks about it, and give them an opportunity to try it themselves. Internet 

(via your wireless card) and electricity will be provided. A screen and projector 

will not be provided as this is an informal small group discussion environment 

not conducive for projecting images from a distance. These sessions are 

also appropriate for discussion of instructional strategies, procedures, and evaluation 

procedures. The idea is not to give a definitive workshop on the topic but 

to provide participants with enough information to help them decide whether their 

needs can be met with the program or procedure. If software is to be discussed, 

include a description of the software and the objectives of the session.

Music City 

Nashville TeNNessee 

Nashville is a place where the past and the future peacefully coexist and build, 

one on the other, to create a destination that appeals to the interests of every visitor. 

Many movies have been made about Nashville. Enough books about Music City 

have been written to fill a bookcase. And, of course, scores of songs are dedicated to the city of 

music. But, while music is the lifeblood of Nashville, visitors will also find here a city of culture and 

history, of haute cuisine, of pro sports, outstanding academics, natural beauty and pure Southern 

charm. This city is alive. You can feel its pulse when you walk down its sidewalks. And, fortunately, 

you can also hear it almost anywhere you go. 

The Grand Ole Opry, the world’s longest consecutively running radio program, was launched in 

1925 and made Nashville a household name. The 1950s launched Nashville as a serious contender 

for recording studios and record labels. Music Mile, a symbolic stretch of roadway connecting 

the $120 million Symphony Center with the music district of Music Row, the vibrant new 

entertainment venues on Demonbruen Street, the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, the Country 

Music Hall of Fame, the Music City Walk of Fame and Museum and the Nashville Arena. 

Nashville also has a vast array of attractions unique to the city. Discover the Parthenon, the world’s 

only full-scale replica of the ancient Greek temple. Inside the temple see the 

42-foot-tall gilded Athena. The venerable Ryman Auditorium has been a 

treasured landmark for over 100 years. Comedians, musicians and actors 

have all performed upon the famous stage. 

Nashville's diverse shopping scene is the perfect fit for any style or price range. 

It's easy to while away an afternoon (or two or three) indulging in a Music City 

shopping spree. From Southern fare to haute cuisine with quite literally everything 

in between, Nashville's menu of dining options will suit any taste. 

Whether it's a family-friendly meal, dinner and a show or a romantic repast, 

the city's restaurants serve every dish with a side of Southern hospitality. 

Spring is a delightful time in Middle Tennessee as the rolling hills are a lush, 

vibrant green. Days are warm while evenings can be chilly. Nashville is a true 

family destination any time of the year. The Nashville Zoo at Grassmere continues 

to add new animal habitats and expand its property. The Adventure 

Science Center is a museum geared toward educating toddlers to pre-teens. 

Connected to the Center is the Sudekum Planetarium. At the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, a special 

interactive gallery called ArtQuest allows guests to create art after they experience it in the galleries. 

Also known as the “Athens of the South” for its dedication to higher learning and education. In 

the mid 1800s, many colleges were founded here including Fisk University, one of the nation’s first 

colleges for freed African Americans. Vanderbilt University, affectionately nicknamed the “Harvard 

of the South,” was founded after the Civil War with the financial backing of Commodore Cornelius 

Vanderbilt. Today, more than 17 colleges and universities call Middle Tennessee home. 

Bring the family and extend your stay for a great vacation. Consider just a few reasons why Music 

City is a wonderful destination for SITE 2011!
