Greetings all. The incoming batch of #evomc18 co-moderators have submitted a proposal for the next round of EVO sessions. Deadline for submission was extended to Sept 30, so we should be hearing from them shortly.
Meanwhile if you are planning to attend the 2018 TESOL CONFERENCE in Chicago this March, you might want to join Jeff Kuhn, +Aaron Schwartz, and I in our on-site PRESENTATION on EVO Minecraft MOOC at the CALL-IS Electronic Village Tech Fair. All you would need to do is (1) appear with us live in Chicago, (2) talk informally to people about EVOMC18, and (3) maybe push a mouse around a bit on a screen showing Minecraft.
The deadline for adding presenters to the proposal has been extended to Sunday Oct 8, so let us know by then if you can join us.
Here is our proposal summary
Join EVO Minecraft MOOC, in its 4th year as a community of practice, live in Chicago or online in Minecraft. Experience EV participants interacting with community members, controlling avatars in Minecraft, and learning how Minecraft enables language learning. Have your questions answered; even join the community if you wish.
Incidentally, word on the street is that CALL-IS is short of proposals to its on-site EV fairs this year, so chances are higher than usual that yours might be accepted if you can get it in by Oct 8 using the CfP link below. All you have to do is write is a 50 word summary and a 100 word abstract, give your presenter details, and click.

hi i come back this years for the evomc18 again
ReplyDeletehappy to join again
but i can't come to chicago (or only if you pay for the travel i live in france lol)
I know the feeling :-) I live in UAE and funding has been non existent the past couple of years. In any event, once the proposal is accepted, we will be inviting the community to join us live from wherever they are.
ReplyDeleteyou need what ??
ReplyDeleteProf Techno Some of us in EVO Minecraft MOOC are members of TESOL, Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages. At the annual conventions there is an Electronic Village space set up and run by the CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) Interest Section. EVO is on online extension of that physical space. Jeff, Aaron, and I have submitted a proposal to appear in Chicago and display #EVOMC18 in the EV at the conference. The proposal deadline is Oct 16, so this is about finding out if anyone else among us will be present in Chicago and would like to join us (we can add you up until that date).
ReplyDeleteBut also, if anyone will be there they can submit their own proposal to the conference apart from this one. Maybe that was too much information for one post :-)
thanks ok for me i was non english prof who must speak english to work with you lol
ReplyDeletetu es le bienvenue
ReplyDeleteHi, Vance, I was thinking that since I am in Orlando, I should attend the conference. Since you are inviting people on board as co-presenter, I'd really don't want to miss this chance of meeting you and the team in Chicago. Would you mind adding me? Or should I submit a proposal related to minecraft and language learning? TKS!
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, that's great news. We still have time to add you to the proposal. In fact you can do it yourself (better that way since you have to provide details that I would not know offhand). I have your email address. I'll send instructions, link and password for our proposal.
ReplyDeleteThat'd be awesome!! ^____^ Thank you!
