Bellow has written several books about educational technology and he is also serving as a board member for the EdCamp Foundation in addition to speaking internationally about education and the power of technology to enhance learning.   Our theme this year is ***"Make Learning Fun: Gamification Anyone?" ***focusing on how to engage, motivate, and excite student learners in today's world. Let's put the FUN back into school! Choose from a variety of sessions on instructional best practices, blended to personalized learning, gamification tools/resources and so much more. Sessions will present ideas for maximizing student learning & teaching efficiencies through the use of technology integrations in general and specific content uses.   We are currently accepting presentation proposals for both conferences.  Would you consider submitting a proposal?
