Proposals are being accepted for the following EV Special Events:

EV FAIRS
EV Fairs are informal demonstrations where teachers or teacher-developers share their use of technology resources in two consecutive 25-minute sessions on one computer station in a presentation format similar to a poster session.

HARDWARE & MOBILE TECHNOLOGY FAIR
The Hardware & Mobile Technology Fair focuses on the uses of devices other than computers that offer unique applications, such as iPods or Tablets. The Fair provides presenters with two consecutive 25-minute sessions to demonstrate their hardware applications in a presentation format similar to a poster session.

MINI-WORKSHOPS
After a brief demonstration, presenters guide participants in "hands-on" practice. Space in these ticketed workshops is limited to 20 participants. Workshop duration is 90 minutes.

DEVELOPERS' SHOWCASE
The Developers' Showcase is an opportunity for ESOL teachers and curriculum/course designers to demonstrate new and original computer applications and/or websites. Presenters have 8 to 12 minutes to demonstrate and/or operate their software and explain its features and applications. A question-and-answer session follows each presentation.

MOBILE APPS FOR EDUCATION
The Mobile Apps for Education session provides ESOL teachers with the opportunity to demonstrate pedagogical uses for their favorite mobile applications. Presenters will have approximately ten minutes to demonstrate their application and explain its uses for ESOL classrooms. A question-and-answer session follows each presentation.
