Cross Post from @TonyVincent "Learning in Hand"

It's my pleasure to be on the team organizing Mobile Learning Experience 2013. It's the third year of this fantastic conference. If you'd like to get a feel for 2012's conference, then check out the Mobile 2012 Program and Mobile 2012 Speakers' Resource Wiki.

Mobile educators from across the country are gathering for three days to share, collaborate, and explore the many facets of mobile learning. In addition to traditional breakout sessions, we have inspiring keynotes, fast-paced Ignite presentations, lots of networking opportunities, and a concluding game show. This year's topics include project-based learning, assistive technologies, Common Core State Standards, Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT), and the open content revolution. Those topics are in addition to basic sessions on the most compelling apps, device deployment, and training tips and hints.

While mobile learning isn't about a specific device, many sessions will have an iPad focus. Mobile Learning Experience 2013 will also address other devices like laptops, Chromebooks, and Android tablets.

Please consider presenting at Mobile 2013. The Call for Proposals is open and the submission deadline is June 27, 2013.
