Also, please estimate the approximate amount of time desired for the presentation (15 min or 25 min).
Teaching Roundtables

Proposal should include: A short description of the proposed teaching tip, the course or courses it is used in, and why it is effective.
Technology Roundtables
Description: Share your favorite technology tip in ten minutes at roundtables. During a 50-minute session on Saturday, participants will switch tables every 15 minutes to learn about how to use technology to create efficiencies and/or improve teaching and learning. Your tip may involve novel approaches using existing technology or may demonstrate cutting edge devices or software applications. If possible, bring the technology (hardware or software) to demonstrate. You may also want to consider bringing a handout with FAQs about the technology to help participants migrate towards implementation.
Proposal should include: A short description of the proposed technology tip, the course or courses it is used in, and why it is effective.
Hands-on Technology

Proposal should include: The name of the technology application (e.g., LiveScribe Pen) and a short description of how instructors would benefit from using this technology in their courses.
Effective Teaching Practices Forum
Description: Participants will share a teaching idea in a poster session. The poster will display a novel teaching tip or assignment for a course currently taught. Faculty should also be ready to discuss how to use this tip or assignment one-on-one with conference participants at the ETP sessions held on Saturday, August 5th.
Proposal should include: Course name, topic area, teaching tip or assignment idea, and a brief statement about why you believe this is a unique and effective approach.

I am using ideas that I got from CTLA this semester.
Great way to be exposed to new gadgets and uses of technology.
CTLA got my creative juices going. It helped me realize that a lot of fun and exciting things are still happening in accounting education.
