Back at it with Conference Proposals

Okay… It has been a couple of months, and it is just killing me. Almost every day I see something that I want to pass along, so I am going to end m Hiatus and write a couple of blog posts now and again.

I have been working on two conference proposals, so hopefully I can write some of what I am proposing here as a sounding board… because, really, what is a blog anyway… :)

Here are my two topics I am thinking of proposing:

  • “iPhone/iTouch in Education - How Location Aware, Ubiquitous Computing, Multi-Touch and Accelerometer will impact computing and Education.” - This proposal will focus on first on the capabilities of iPhones/iTouch’s and then on some of the applications that are available.
  • “Using Web 2.0 to Help Those with Learning Disabilities.” - This proposal is growing out of some workshops I have been doing for our learning disabilities group here on campus. I realized that this is a place where technology can really help students, but not much has been written about it.

What do you think?

About Anthony

I am 20 years old, and a Sophomore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My hobbies involve going to the gym, spending time with friends, and messing around on my computer. I am a Computer Science major right now, but there is too much math for my liking, so I am considering a switch to the Journalism School specifically multimedia design).
