Due to **numerous** requests for extensions due to the Thanksgiving holiday
and other looming deadlines, the deadline for the call for papers has been
extended until *December 15*. We look forward to your paper!

> Special invitation for K-12 teachers. In order to accommodate the growing
> number of K-12 school teachers engaged in tablet and touch computing, the
> Saturday session of the workshop on *Saturday, March 15, 2014*, will
> feature interactive sessions and presentations by teachers, students, and
> researchers. Teachers are strongly encouraged to submitted papers and/or
> posters.

> *Review and Topics*

> All submissions will be peer reviewed. Contributions are welcome to define
> "Education" broadly to include in-class experiences as well as learning
> activities that occur outside the classroom. Potential topics appear below
> for each strand, though the summaries are intended to serve as examples and
> are not comprehensive. Successful submissions in the *Technology in
> Practice* strand will typically consider impact in one or more of the
> following areas:
>
>    - student or teacher attitudes
>    - learning outcomes
>    - classroom social and instructional dynamics
>    - variations of classroom flipping strategies
>    - student retention and/or attendance
>    - homework submissions and collaboration systems
>    - recruiting teachers and/or students
>    - teacher efficiency and workload
>
> While we expect many evaluations to be largely positive, we recognize the
> value of sharing what has not worked as well as what has. Therefore, the
> evaluation component may include positive outcomes, negative outcomes, or a
> mixture of the two.
>
> Successful submissions in the *Emerging Technology Research* strand may
> highlight investigations into the social, cognitive, haptic, or
> motivational dynamics associated with pen and touch interfaces. Others may
> highlight development of software systems that recognize symbol and touch
> patterns in ways that may advance the design of learning or educational
> settings. Typically, papers in this strand will include an empirical
> component, but the committee also welcomes compelling theoretical papers
> that -- with other contributions -- help the community chart a promising
> future.

> *Registration Scholarships*

> Applications for registration scholarships will be available in November

> We are now partnering with AggieStem. AggieStem is happy to provide CEU
> credits for participating K-12 Teachers.
