Conference Highlights
NETA 2009: Exploring New Territories
The 22nd annual Nebraska Educational Technology Association (NETA) Conference: Exploring New Territories promises
to be another outstanding professional development experience. We invite you to explore new territories by hearing
success stories and finding solutions for teaching with technology in today’s digital classroom. Registration includes over 140
speaker presentations, many special poster and gallery displays, bring your own laptop sessions, nationally known keynote and
featured speakers, and a record number of vendors in the exhibit hall. The broad variety of breakout sessions should provide topics of interest every hour! You’ll leave the conference energized with new ideas you can use in the classroom right away.
Half-day workshops
Technical and 1:1 Laptop Initiative Strands
Starting Wednesday evening, April 22nd, workshops on popular topics are available. All are hands-on and are only $45.00
each. These optional workshops will really help you make the
most of your conference experience. See the descriptions
on pages 11–13 and enter your selections on the registration form or sign up when you register online. Registration
deadline is April 3. Please note that workshops will be held at
ESU#3 this year (very close to the conference site). Workshop
attendees can either drive the short distance or ride a shuttle
provided by NETA.
Tech Coordinators and Technical Support Specialists will have
a special strand of sessions each day! On Thursday we’ll have
sessions focusing on 1:1 laptop initiatives.
Earn Graduate Credit
Two-day attendees of the conference can earn one graduate
credit through Peru State College. Tuition is billed to students
after the conference. Participants will meet with the Peru
State College instructor on Thursday morning directly after the
general session for instructions. Contact Gregg Robke at
grobke@esu4.org for questions.
Student Contest Winners
Please check our web site for a list of student contest winners.
The winning entry from the NETA Conference Logo Contest will
be printed on this year’s Conference Program and T-shirt (will
be available for purchase near front entrance). The winning
logo design, for the 2nd year in a row, was submitted, by Katie
Hottovy of the Instructional Technology Focus Program at the
Lincoln Public Schools and adorns the front cover of this flyer.
Room Hosts
School districts from across Nebraska will “adopt” session
rooms to provide room hosts, who help sessions run smoothly.
Districts can form a team (3–10 people) to adopt a room for
both days of the conference. The team captain will receive instructions Thursday morning. Each room host will receive this
year’s NETA T-shirt with our thanks. If your district would like to
host a room, contact SuAnn Witt (suann.witt@nebraska.gov).
Poster Sessions
On Thursday afternoon, watch for the gallery of Poster Sessions. The first session will highlight the state-wide Learning
Web grants and teachers who received NETA grants last year,
with additional rounds of poster sessions addressing a wide
variety of topics. Stroll freely through the gallery of poster
sessions where all presenters will informally display projects
in one session room and be on hand for questions. The poster
session room is much bigger this year, so will allow attendees
to easily move from one poster session to another.
Playgrounds—Back for the 2nd Year!
Something else that you won’t want to miss at NETA this year
will be the “Playgrounds.” These will be open sessions that run
for 45 minutes. Participants are invited to drop in any time
during the scheduled “playground.” This is an excellent way to
get assistance learning new technology tools.
See page 7 for the schedule.
NETA 2009 Spring Conference
NEW! Bring Your Own Laptop Sessions!
We will be having some sessions designated as “Bring Your
Own Laptop.” Be sure to check our web site for these sessions
and reserve a spot through our online registration system.
Conference Meals
Lunch on both days will be on your own. So that you may attend
as many sessions as possible, we do not schedule a formal
lunch break. Sandwiches and concessions will be available for
those that don’t want to miss anything!
Vendor Exhibits
Thursday 8:30 AM–6:00 PM
Friday 8:00 AM–2:30 PM
The conference schedule will allow plenty of time to visit the
vendor exhibit areas. Record numbers of exhibitors will be
showing the latest in hardware, software, books & curriculum
integration solutions. Watch for special conference pricing and
giveaways.
Thursday’s Vendor Reception
Join colleagues for complimentary hors d’oeuvres served in
the vendor area on Thursday after the last session while you
visit vendor exhibits. Enter your name for the vendor prize
drawings on Thursday before this reception. Lots of great
prizes have been donated from vendors, and the winning
names will be posted before this reception begins. Exhibitors
will also be donating prizes for the ever-popular prize drawing
event on Friday after the last session.
