ACEC 2010 invites proposals for refereed papers as well as submissions
for non-refereed papers, workshops, panels and posters for ACEC 2010 in
Melbourne from April 7th to 9th, 2010.

ACEC 2010 is being hosted by ICT in Education Victoria (ICTEV) on behalf
of the Australian Council for Computers in Education (ACCE).

If you can share your story, you will complement excellent contributions 
from across Australia and the world, in a variety of formats included in 
the conference program. 

The Conference theme is "DiGITAL DiVERSITY"

The conference will examine the diverse ways that ICT can maximize each 
student's potential through their personal learning styles. It will 
investigate how ICT can allow all people including those with diverse 
skills and thinking strategies become lifelong creative learners. 

We aim to include a broad range of contributions to make ACEC2010 in 
Melbourne a conference to remember..

Speed Sharing
60 minute sessions, 8 presenters x 7 minutes. (Based on Pecha Kucha 
school of presentation)
If you don't want to present a full paper or workshop but have something 
you can share in 7 minutes consider a Speed Sharing session. You will be 
allowed 20 images (PowerPoint) each will be shown for 20 seconds and 
automatically forwarded. This gives you 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame 
before the next presenter is up. This keeps presentations concise, 
interest level up, and gives more people the chance to share. We may ask 
you to repeat these sessions.

Unconference
60 minute session.
An unconference session is a discussion centered around a theme or 
purpose. Similar to Birds of a Feather. Each room has a topic. One person 
is the host (but not the presenter). Encourages like minded people to 
share, discuss, question the topic. Examples of topics might be: Second 
Life, Blogging, Twitter, Moodle, Technical & technician issues, 
leadership, classroom implications, policy, and so on. If you would like 
to host an unconference session on a topic of your choice register your 
topic and willingness to host with the program committee.
