GOOD DAY FELLOW EDUCATORS!  Thank you for supporting the Oklahoma Distance Learning Association!

 

We are calling for presentations for the upcoming ODLA State Conference, Monday and Tuesday, November 5^th and 6^th, on the beautiful OSU-Tulsa Campus!

 

A submission form is now available at the ODLA website at:  http://www.odla.org/index.php?option=com_mosforms&mosform=4&Itemid=76

 

You may either select from a list of Web 2.0 for Education topics, or submit your own Web 2.0 topic to present.  Please also submit a brief summary about your presentation.  If selected, we will need a short biography, photo and a more descriptive session summary for our promotional materials and official conference program. 

 

Each presenter will have one or two (repeat) one-hour sessions plus 15 minutes for questions and discussion.  The facilities and technology on the OSU-Tulsa campus, and particularly in the presentation rooms are state-of-the-art, so do not be concerned about your resources.

 

The conference committee has secured world-class accommodations within state per-diem rates.  We will send you more information on that by the end of this week.  Tulsa also has a lot to offer in the way of entertainment, shopping and museums as well. 

 

The OSU-Tulsa campus is located just north of Downtown in the historic Greenwood area.  The accommodations and surrounding neighborhoods are pleasantly distinctive and developing rapidly.  The newest building on campus, the Helmrich Advanced Technology Research Center, is to be dedicated November 29, 2007.  Tours of this exciting new facility will be available during your conference stay.

 

THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS 5:00 P.M. CST, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. 

 

Presenters will be notified by 5:00 p.m., Friday, September 21. 

 

CONFERENCE UPDATES

 

• We will provide a complete list of entertainment options should you choose to arrive as early as Friday to take advantage of Tulsa shopping and entertainment!  We’re working on a very special Monday evening concert with the Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame at the Jazz Depot (we’re still negotiating).  If not, we have another interesting option, so “stay tuned.”
• A large vendor exhibit space has been reserved and vendor exhibitor forms will go out this week.  If your organization or company would like a spot, reserve early!  Ads in the Official ODLA State Conference Program are also available for purchase. 
• The Greenwood Cultural Center is providing space for us to have catered lunches both days. 
• A 120-seat “Hospitality Room” has been reserved.  Coffee and tea will be available throughout both days for relaxing and “net-working.” 
• A 10-seat Committee Meeting Room has been reserved.  Get your committee members together and plan your agenda!
• New Board officer voting will take place on Monday and installation of Board officers will be on Tuesday. 

See you in Tulsa!
