 Photo by biberfan The call for proposals will close in just a few days on September 15th. Whether it be a BYOL (Bring Your Own Laptop) workshop, a Share Fair Poster, or a concurrent session, the high quality work that our VSTE members present on at the annual conference is one of the greatest things about VSTE. Instead of focusing on technology, we encourage our members to submit proposals that focus on specific content areas including Library Media, Foreign Language, Online Learning, Elementary, Middle, and High School Education, and a host of others. For a full list of content areas including some helpful tips on how to build a great proposal head on over to the Call for Proposals page. And if you’re ready to submit we have a form already prepared for you. We look forward to seeing you in December and hearing about the great things that are happening in your division!
