<div>Hello Graduates, </div>
<div>�</div>
<div>Many of you are working on technology related research projects in my EDCT 605 course this quarter.� These would be wonderful submissions for MWERA which is in October in St. Louis.� In fact, we�may (no promises)�even have some funds in IT or the College to help send you to this conference (usually around $250.00) if our budgets hold up as hoped!� This is a great conference in a great location!</div>
<div>�</div>
<div>So, if you are working on a project and can make the submission deadline of May 15th -- go for it!� If you have a dissertation or thesis that is almost or completed -- go for it!� You might even submit your research on the NETS*T or NETS that you conducted a few weeks ago!</div>
<div>�</div>
<div>See the notes from Dr. Brooks below on how to submit.</div>
<div>�</div>
<div>Let's represent OU well at the conference!</div>
<div>Dr. Teresa Franklin<br><br></div>

Subject: MWERA Proposal Submission Deadline Extended to May 15<br>To: <a href="mailto:mwera@ohio.edu">mwera@ohio.edu</a><br>Cc: brooksg <<a href="mailto:brooksg@ohio.edu">brooksg@ohio.edu</a>><br><br><br>Hi All,<br>
<br>I don't like to abuse my relationship with you all to advertise for<br>the Mid-Western Educational Research Association (MWERA). �However, I<br>wanted to let you all know that the deadline was extended this year<br>
and there is one more week (the site will close May 16) to submit<br>proposals for the MWERA conference in St. Louis in October.<br><br>If you or your students have time to put together a quick proposal, please do.<br><br>
Short (2-3 page) proposals are acceptable, as long as you've covered<br>the required elements (abstract, objectives, theoretical framework,<br>methods, results and conclusions, and educational importance of the<br>work). �I encourage you to think about things you would be able to<br>
present in October---and especially things your graduate students<br>might present by themselves or with you. �While we don't have SIGs<br>like AERA, we have all the same Divisions as AERA, so we're all<br>covered in some way by MWERA.<br>
<br>We especially encourage newer faculty and graduate students to present<br>and participate. �Even if you don't have a proposal that would be<br>ready for presentation, you can also sign up as a reviewer, session<br>
chair, or session discussant, which may be a good way to help graduate<br>students (or you) gain such professional service experience.<br><br>If you go to <a href="http://www.mwera.org/" target="_blank">www.mwera.org</a> and then click on the "Submit Proposal"<br>
tab, you will be taken to our All-Academic submission site, where you<br>can submit a proposal or sign up in a service role. �You need to<br>submit electronically through that site and upload a proposal. �The<br>Call for Proposals is available on the <a href="http://www.mwera.org/" target="_blank">www.mwera.org</a> page. �You'll<br>
need to join the organization to present, but you don't need to join<br>before submitting.<br><br>~~~Gordon<br><br>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br><font color="#888888">Gordon Brooks, Associate Professor & Chair<br>
