Clayton R. Wright has released the 41st edition of the conference list. The list below covers selected events focused primarily on the use of technology in educational settings and on teaching, learning, and educational administration – Education Conferences #40 December 2018 to June 2019 Clayton R Wright.doc
You may wish to consider the following from Clayton’s email regarding the merits of going or not going to a conference:
Though some might question the costs and need of academic conferences now that digital communications is widely available (Colleen Flaherty, 2017), others note the cost of not traveling to conferences – the cost of academic isolation (Matt Reed, 2017). There are merits to both sides of the argument. One could attend a virtual conference one year and an in-person conference the next. Each type of event will offer different experiences. When it is feasible, most of us humans seem to prefer to interact in person. Also, a “serendipity effect” often occurs during in-person conferences – by wandering around and meeting different people, one discovers, by chance, the unexpected. I also hope that the serendipity effect applies to this list – as you review it, you may discover events that are not only new to you but perk your interest.
It is prudent to take the time to conduct your own due diligence for any events you want to attend or submit a paper to. Information on the list was accurate on the distribution date. When you view the list, information may have changed – such as the dates and venue – and some may have been canceled.
May the list assist you in pursuing your professional development goals!
