MCN CAL SIG: Last minute call for proposals
Greetings all CAL SIG members, With the extended deadline for Conference Proposals we are hoping to inspire some panels or workshops from our regional SIG in the MCN 2006 Conference Host State! The proposal deadline is now FRIDAY, MARCH 10th. If you already have an idea, this is the moment to confer with your colleagues, pull together an abstract, and submit a proposal. In hopes of providing a bit of inspiration, following are a few ideas from a brainstorming session at the CAL SIG Annual Meeting in Boston last fall: -Panel theme that connects with the entertainment industry, for example what can we learn from edutainment? -Steven Spielberg's Shoah Foundation and the project archiving interview of Holocaust survivors -Distance learning projects mentioned in connection with the Museum of Television Radio These ideas are just a place to start! For more information, refer to the Call for Proposals (http://www.mcn.edu/conferences/index.asp?subkey=714) on the MCN website. To submit a proposal, use the convenient online form (http://www.mcn.edu/conferences/index.asp?subkey=906). Let's make the 34th MCN Annual Conference the best ever!
