NJTEEA Representation at the NJEA Convention

 

NJTEEA wants you and your ideas to be represented at this year's NJEA Convention in Atlantic City.  NJTEEA wants to have a workshop/presentation to be given at the NJEA Convention that is sponsored by the association and is representative of Technology Education and STEM.  

 

We are soliciting ideas and workshop proposals for what you want to see.  We will review the workshop/presentation ideas and reach out to you if your idea was chosen.  We will then help you go through the NJEA workshop proposal process.  If your workshop is accepted by NJEA, the presenter is given a room for one night at an Atlantic City hotel.

 

Please complete the proposal by clicking on this link.

ITEEA Request for ITEEA Members

 

ITEEA has created a task force comprised of a group of teachers, administrators, and teacher educators who have been charged to assess technology and engineering teacher's organizational needs, prioritize those needs, and ultimately disseminate resources based on those needs on a continuous basis to its membership. The first phase of this project was to communicate with CATE directors and administrators in each region in order to identify a subset of teachers who would be willing to complete an online survey instrument which was created by the task force to identify and/or assess specific teacher-derived needs which could hopefully be met by ITEEA thus the reason for the survey we are asking you to complete.

 

Please only complete this if you are an ITEEA Member.

National Science Foundation Microprocessor Workshops
Free Summer Workshops on Teaching Microprocessor Course Content  

 

No Travel Involved, workshops taught using distance learning technologies.

 

Teachers get paid for participating in the full workshop.

 

Technology and Engineering Education State Leaders,

 

California University-Fresno, Old Dominion University, Wayne State University, Blue Ridge Community College, and Tidewater Community College will sponsor 3 separate distance learning workshops on embedded system design using PIC microcontrollers.

 

There will be 3 separate workshops held: 6/7/13-6/9/13 (Western Region), 6/17/13-6/19/13 (Eastern Region), and 7/10/13-7/12/13 (Mid-America Region).

 

There are no registration fees to participate in these workshops and no travel is required. Teachers must have access of land line high speed internet (DSL or cable) connections. Satellite internet connects are not acceptable.

 

Attendance is limited to 20 faculty members in each region and each attendee will receive a free PIC training system/kit, curriculum materials, a webcam, a microphone headset (a value of $250+), plus $400 for participation in the 3 days of professional development training. The $400 reimbursement will be mailed to participants upon the successful completion of the workshop; this requires the continuous attendance for the 3-day program. There is an additional $100 payment, if one completes a required project using the learned material and verifies it through the regional faculty coordinator. Qualified workshop attendees include high school technology and engineering or electronics teachers and 2 or 4 year higher education faculty.
