Pre-conference: April 5, 2011
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES: MAKING IT WORK
Submission deadline: January 28, 2011

CALL FOR PROPOSALS
TCC 2011 invites faculty, support staff, librarians, counselors, student affairs professionals, students, administrators, and educational consultants to submit proposals for papers and general sessions.
THEME
The emergence of Web 2.0 created a global platform for communication, collaboration, and sharing. People, technologies, and perspectives have converged on the Internet that has spawned global communities and platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.
The Internet has changed education. Many issues and concerns, however, have yet to be answered fully: How do faculty, staff, students and the communities served collaborate and innovate to produce positive learning outcomes? How can students learn through virtual worlds, educational games, augmented realities, or the use of smart, mobile devices? What best practices or choices have emerged in online learning? How do we keep up? How can we support each other?
TOPICS
TCC invites papers and general sessions related to technology integrated learning, open educational resources, distance learning, virtual communities, and best choices in educational technologies. The coordinators are looking for a broad range of submissions including, but are not limited to:
- Perspectives and personal experiences with emerging learning technologies
- Case studies and progress in applying ICT and Web 2.0 tools for learning
- Technologies that enable communication, collaboration, creativity, and sharing
- Building and sustaining communities of learners

Second Life (SL), a 3-D virtual world, has been found beneficial to foreign language education because of its immersive and interactive environments. The presenters will share an on-going study exploring integrating SL into teaching and learning Mandarin Chinese. The presenters will describe the process of the collaborative study involving a teacher training program in Taiwan, an undergraduate degree program in the US, and an information technology institute in Taiwan. The presenters will demonstrate SL teaching and learning task design samples and show SL video clips demonstrating how teaching and learning Chinese can take place in the 3-D virtual environment. Results of their pilot study will be also shared.
Wish to be removed from ETC Listserv.
This thought was shared by a mother whose daughter has a severe disability on DaAi TV of the Tzu Chi Foundation.
In our lives we chase and try to grasp well-being and happiness. Well-being and happiness are just like butterflies. The harder we chase; the farther they fly away. Even we are able to catch them, they may die in our hands, like well-being that has disappeared.
Why not cultivate the seeds of love in our hearts, let seeds grow, and bloom to create many beautiful and blossoming flowers in the gardens of our hearts. Then butterflies would come, stay, and dance in our gardens. Well-being will be always full in our hearts; there is no longer any need to chase it!
