Applications Open January 2018 and Close February 20th 2018
Apply to be a 2018 Conference Moderator
The 4T Virtual Conference is looking for a few UM students interested in working with us to support the 2018 4T Virtual Education Conference, and to take on the role of session facilitators/moderators. Session facilitators partner with one of the K-12 master teachers who’ll be presenting at our conference in May 2018, and work with them through the entire process of training and preparing for their virtual presentation. Student
facilitators also moderate the actual presentation, and receive specialized training in the teaching and learning affordances of the virtual classroom so that they can both assist their teacher/partners in its use, and fully participate in an ongoing dialogue about the impact of the conference experience on their thinking about teaching. Student facilitators will have an extended learning relationship with an experienced teacher through which they will enhance their professional learning network, and learn about virtual, blended and traditional classroom teaching.
Student facilitators will do about 15-17 hours of work between April and May of 2018
