eCOTS is underway and now it's your turn! eCOTS is now underway! This is a participant-centered conference and we want to hear your thoughts, questions, experiences, and ideas! One great way to participate is through the eCOTS Social Media Challenge - this year using Padlet technology. Post your comments and critiques in text or media at https://padlet.com/ekendriss/eCOTS16_Monday There will be a new padlet each day and each day that you post will give you another ticket in a random drawing for great Statistics Education prizes. Another great way to actively participate is by posting comments on the virtual posters and entering questions in the chat windows during the eCOTS keynotes, sessions, and workshops. "See" you at eCOTS!

Get ready for the eCOTS Social Media Challenge!

by LAURA BURGHARD

This year our Social Media Challenge is Changed with Padlet Technology! Each day of eCOTS, look for a link to be posted and tweeted out with the hashtag #eCOTS16, and join in the daily discussion Padlet on a topic relating to the theme, or an important event during that day. A double-click is all it takes to add audio, video, image, link, document or text. It can even be done from your smartphone. For each day you contribute to the discussion, we will add one virtual ticket with your name to the random prize drawing (first place is a free registration or one night's lodging for USCOTS 2017). So be sure to put your #nameonit, as I tell my students! Kay Endriss Coordinator, CAUSE Social Media Competitions
