Call for Proposals (deadline has passed: December 20, 2013)
The 2014 conference 3Ts: At the Core of Teaching, Technology and Transliteracy, to be hosted at SUNY Geneseo on March 14, invites educational professionals from K-20 - librarians, instructors, instructional designers, IT professionals, administrators - to highlight their best teaching practices that encourage student engagement.
The conference planning committee seeks educational professionals that have excellent teaching models to share, based upon sound pedagogical principles. This year’s 3Ts conference will not follow the typical format; there will be no keynote speaker. Instead, presenters are encouraged to demonstrate their teaching methodologies to other professionals in a workshop style [scroll to end of this page for examples], allowing participants to engage in the instruction as if they were students.
As proposals undergo a peer-reviewed process, emphasis on the following are highly encouraged:
- Connecting theory to practice as discussed and modeled through your presentation delivery
- Collaborative projects/lesson plans that could include (but are not limited to) cross-disciplinary teaching, faculty/librarian partnerships, K-12/college experiences

Each workshop session will last 90 minutes, reserving the final hour of the day for conference-wide reflection and discussion. Presenters and participants will have the opportunity to build upon lessons and ideas learned during the conference, creating a dialogue concerning effective and ineffective teaching methods.
To submit a proposal, please complete the submission form.
The deadline for proposals has passed.
Presenters will be notified by January 17, 2014 if their proposal has been accepted.
Presenters will receive free registration for the conference and will have the opportunity to publish their work in the conference’s online proceedings.
* Previous 3Ts examples of the type of workshop we’re looking to include:
1) A Communication professor wanted his students to learn the art of public speaking and critical analysis. Students were asked to address their classmates with a brief presentation which was simultaneously recorded. That recording was immediately placed on YouTube (under a private class setting) where students could comment on various public speaking techniques demonstrated by each presenter. Each student was also afforded the opportunity to critique themselves. For the 3Ts conference, this presenter addressed attendees as his students and for the duration of the session, we engaged in the recorded public speaking analysis activity.
2) Four educational professionals offered a two-hour workshop that introduced participants to the many technological tools highlighted in the first 3Ts conference. The presenters introduced themselves using the various tools and provided basic information on the tools to the attendees. Workshop participants were given the time to play with the technologies and engage in a google doc “conversation” that evaluated the tools and explored classroom activities that might work best with each technology.
