 January
6-7, 2011, MPICT is again co-hosting its Winter ICT Educator
Conference in downtown San Francisco, together with the
National
ICT Center. Joining us in hosting this event are the
Boston-area Advanced Technological Education Connections (BATEC),
an NSF ATE funded Regional Center, like MPICT, and the
Center for
System Security and Information Assurance (CSSIA), an NSF
ATE funded National Resource Center.
More than 180 attendees are expected, including community
college faculty in ICT related programs, college
administrators, representatives of industry and others.
The Winter Conference will begin each day with keynote
presentations at the Microsoft’s Market Street facility.
Thursday will feature Jim Spohrer, Director of IBM University
Programs World Wide, on “The Emerging Pervasive Networked
Computing Explosion and its Impact on Society, ICT Workforce
and Technician Educators.” Thursday features HI-TEC 2009
Educator of the Year Mike Qaissaunee on “Teaching and
Learning: The Widening Gap Between Faculty and the Digital
Student.”
Around 10am each day, we migrate to the City College of San
Francisco Downtown Campus, on the corner of 4th and Mission
Streets, for breakout sessions, meals and social events. At
least two of at least five simultaneous sessions will be
hands-on or interactive in college computer labs, where
participants will be able to engage with ICT technologies.
The theme of this year’s Winter Conference is “Improving ICT
Education in Challenging Times.” Even in difficult times, we
can improve ICT education if we come together and share
successful practices, ideas and resources we don’t all take
advantage of.
