CyberCamp for CyberCorps! Presenters Needed

The text of this post comes from Clint Stephens at Southwest Educational Development Center, SEDC.

SEDC is sponsoring a CyberCamp for students involved in the CyberCorps program in 20 schools in Utah on May 13-14, 2016 in Cedar City. This is our first CyberCorps student camp since 2008, and we are thrilled to have this program back! CyberCorps students are the first line of defence to support teachers using technology in schools. You can learn more about CyberCorps here.

We would love to have you join us at the CyberCamp to share your expertise and to lead our students in some high quality, hands-on technical training. Sessions will be three hours in length, and we will have four sessions over the course of the two day camp.

Please take a look at the camp session idea list. If there is a topic there that you are able and willing to present, please fill out the presenter form linked below. If there is a topic that you are passionate about that could benefit these students that is not on the list, please submit the presenter form anyway and we will certainly consider it.

SEDC will provide lodging for any presenters coming in from outside of Iron County, as well as an awesome CyberCorps 2016 T-shirt. You are also more than welcome to join the students for lunch with all of the pizza and soda you care for!

This camp has traditionally been a great experience for all involved, and this year should be no exception. Please let me know if you have any questions at all, and thanks for your time, effort and participation!
