Abstract:
The Educators Opening Plenary and Café is the kick-off session for the SIGGRAPH 2008 Education Community. This presentation features an overview of SIGGRAPH 2008 conference sessions, activities, and resources that might be of special interest to educators and their students.
Accompanied by complimentary coffee, tea, and tidbits, several moderators offer mini-previews of their upcoming sessions. This is an excellent opportunity for educators to plan their conference schedules and ask questions that may help them decide which sessions they should not miss.
This session also provides an opportunity for educators to offer their views about what is most useful at the SIGGRAPH conference and from the ACM SIGGRAPH education program in general and what they would like to see that isn’t currently offered. These views will be carefully considered by both the conference and the organization for future implementation. At the end of the plenary session, educators who want to play a role in future conferences, and in the ACM SIGGRAPH Education program in general, can learn about volunteering opportunities.
