Instructions to presenters IMPORTANT: Please check this page again a day or two before the conference for updates. REMINDER: All presenters must register and pay for the conference. Please click HERE to register for the conference if you haven’t already. Please communicate with any co-presenters (if applicable). All presentations with times and rooms are now public at this link. Also, this link has a detailed description of each presentation room. HERE's a campus map showing presentation room areas in red circles. If you are giving a graduate student poster session, please click HERE for additional instructions. All classrooms at Mukogawa Fort Wright Institute are equipped with an Internet enabled PC laptop computer (Microsoft Office 2010) and a projector (or LCD TV). Each classroom has a blackboard and/or whiteboard. There are a few overhead projectors available in the classroom areas. If one is in your classroom, you may use it. Or you can borrow one from a nearby classroom, but please return it when you are finished. Many of the rooms have CD boom boxes for playing audio CDs. Three rooms have a doc cam (Library 114, Library 202 and Library Assembly Hall 1). Presenters can bring their presentation on a CD or USB stick. Or personal laptops can also be connected to the projector (or LCD TV) via the provided VGA cable. (Mac users need white VGA adapter.) Important: Please return the classroom furniture to the same location it was at the beginning of your presentation. Many of the classrooms are personal classrooms of MFWI teachers and respect for another's room is important as you know. Internet access for personal laptops or mobile devices will be available campus-wide on the day of the conference via the open "mfwi" wireless network. The classrooms at Mukogawa Fort Wright Institute will be open by 8:00 a.m. on the day of the conference for those who wish to look at the room and equipment before the presentation. The Spokane Regional ESL Conference committee will NOT provide pens, markers, paper, small white boards, scissors, and miscellaneous supplies for presenters. Easels will not be provided. Please do not use any of the supplies in the classrooms. Also, please return the classroom back to the arrangement that you found it. Near the beginning of your presentation, a volunteer teacher from Mukogawa will stop by your room to check if everything is okay. At last year’s conference there were a little over 300 attendees (including exhibitors). We are expecting about the same this year. Each concurrent session time slot will have about 12 sessions. Bring enough handouts to accommodate the number of people coming to your workshop. If you wish to have attendees to your presentation complete an evaluation, please prepare one yourself. There will be an online evaluation after the conference. On the day of the conference, Martha Savage is in charge of presenter check-in near the regular registration table in the Commons. Be sure to check in with her on the day of registration to get your presenter information and for any updates. In order for the Spokane Regional ESL Conference to comply with district clock hour requirements, ALL presenters must submit a curriculum vita/cv or resume at the presenter check-in table on the day of registration. This is required even if you are not receiving clock hours. Past presenters may already have one on file with the ESD. If you have questions about this, please contact Vince Eberly. Thank you for your participation in the Spokane Regional ESL Conference. |
