S.E.T.A. What
is SETA? S.E.T.A. stands for
Student Education Technology Association and we extend a warm invitation to all
pre-service teachers, K-12 teachers, and professors to join us on February 23,
2002 at College of Saint Mary in Omaha for the first SETA conference.
What will it offer me? College of
Saint Mary and the Nebraska Catalyst Project are encouraging, supporting, and
funding SETA. The Nebraska
Education Technology Association (NETA) is also supporting the development of
SETA by offering logistic ideas and an ideal model as a foundation.
Attendance and/or participation in the conference will provide knowledge
of how to use technology in the classroom and an opportunity for undergraduates
to make professional presentations, which will provide professional materials to
include in a portfolio. What are the goals of SETA?
SETA is
designed to offer pre-service teachers the opportunity to get together to share
technology lessons, ideas, and experiences that can be added to their growing
toolboxes of knowledge preparing them for careers as teachers.
Experienced professionals will attend and participate to offer positive
feedback and ideas to the teachers of tomorrow.
What kinds of activities can I participate
in or present?
The main
focus of SETA is for pre-service teachers to create and present learning and
teaching activities voluntarily or as a class project, that incorporate
technology. The
activities can vary from poster sessions to hands-on workshops.
Those interested in conducting workshops are strongly encouraged to
submit plans early to assure necessary accommodations. Activities
may include, but are not limited to, the following: Ø Internet tools and resources Ø
