Why be a Presenter?

The MACE organization is committed to providing educators with the opportunity to share innovations, philosophies, best teaching practices, and technology designed to improve teaching and learning with respect to educational technology.

Our conference promotes teacher-leaders as presenters who serve as models and advocates for effective technology integration. Presenting at MACE allows you to develop leadership skills and share your craft. Conference sessions should be designed to reflect current research and the integration initiatives of state and national curriculum standards.

Educators that are incorporating technology into their classrooms and curriculum are encouraged to help spread the word about best practices. MACE promotes and encourages appropriate use of both hardware and software for the improvement of education.

Equipment & Software

MACE will provide an LCD projector and screen in each room.

You will need to provide your own device. Additional hardware you may need will be your responsibility including dongles and speakers. Early arrival to confirm room setup is expected. MACE and KSU Union will provide technical support that day.

Internet Access

KSU Alumni Center & Student Union have wireless Internet access. You can connect to the KSU Guest wireless network.

If you require a "wired" connection please indicate that on the registration form. Every effort will be made to accommodate a "wired" connection request at the presenter table, but this cannot be guaranteed.

Be sure to visit with your district IT staff to be sure your device will operate properly with the KSU network. Make sure you know how to make the connection or have IT set your device up ahead of time.

If providing paper hand-outs, expect up to 30 per session, however some sessions may have more or less.

Electronic handouts can be uploaded into Sched for attendees to access.
