This year’s convention theme is ACCELERATE LEARNING: Racing into the Future. In recent years, AECT has invested significant effort and resources to promote scholarship, best practices, and leadership in the creation, use, and management of technologies for effective teaching and learning. We seek to be the premier international organization in educational technology…the organization to which others refer for research and best practices. Thus, this year’s conference encouraged proposals across the broad applications of our profession within a variety of dynamic settings (including global settings); proposals that challenge us to modify and expand our approaches to instructional design, learning, and how we define our community of practice in all educational and training environments. Major shifts in learning, scholarship, research, and social networking continue to precipitate a need for sharing, discussing, and leading to identify the opportunities these shifts present to us as professionals. With a record number of proposals submitted this year, we are proud to offer a program that includes over 20 workshops and well over 400 Concurrent Sessions, Panel Discussions, Presidential Sessions, PechaKucha Panels, Poster Sessions, and Roundtables! The schedule also includes many receptions, meetings, and opportunities to connect and network will colleagues from around the world. We encourage you to explore the schedule and take advantage of the diverse offerings, especially our Presidential Sessions, which include: • Using Games in the Classroom: Reports from Three Perspectives • In Search of Uncommon Wisdom • Technologies Enabling Instructional Designers to Build Their Own Dynamically Adaptive Tutoring Systems • Emerging Technologies Showcase • Informing our Field: How we Examine, Document and Disseminate Information about Trends and Issues in Instructional Design and Technology • Walking in Their Footsteps (or High Heels): AECT Women Discuss the Influence of the Women who Paved the Way • Educational Technology and Instructional Design in East Asia: New Academic Programs and New Career Opportunities • AECT Major Online Reference Work – Learning, Design, and Technology: An International Compendium of Theory, Research, Practice and Policy • Blurred Lines: Preparing K-12 Instructional Technologists and School Librarians for Educational Entrepreneurship • Multimedia in MOOCs: Best Practices for Cultural Inclusion We are especially excited to announce the return of Tech Travesties (Thursday, 4:45 to 5:45, Regency Ballroom A, 2nd Level) and the continuation of the Job Placement Center (Regency Foyer, 2nd Level). This year, we will also share archived recordings of selected sessions after the conference for those who may have missed a session. Stay tuned after the convention for details about how to access recordings through the AECT website. Special sessions and services that we have this year include the Pit Stop (Studio Lounge, 3rd Level), Study Tours, a Scavenger Hunt through social media, Breakfast with Champions (Cosmopolitan Ballroom, 3rd Level), 5th Annual 5K Fun Run/Walk, and AECT Tech Saturday (co-sponsored by SMT and TED Divisions and the Indiana State Teachers Association). More information about these elements of the program can be found here in the program or within the online schedule. We are honored to host Professor Gráinne Conole as our keynote speaker for the opening General Session on Wednesday! The title of her address is Slow and Fast Learning with Contemporary Digital Technologies. Friday’s General Session will focus on AECT, including organization business, updates on strategic planning, awards and special recognitions, and we’ll hear from our President-Elect Designate candidates. Finally, we must thank the division and affiliate planners (who we know as our Pit Crew) who have spent countless hours preparing for this event! Special thanks also go to Larry Vernon, AECT Electronic Services Director; Lois Freeland, Convention Consultant/Event Coordinator; and Dalinda Bond, Convention Scheduler and Volunteer Coordinator, and Phil Harris, AECT Executive Director for their limitless support. We hope that everyone enjoys this fast week in Indianapolis… green light/green flag! Kay A. Persichitte Linda L.

SIMONE A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2009 1 © 2009 Daniel J. Simone 2 To Michael and Tessa 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A driver fails without the support of a solid team, and I thank my friends, who supported me lap-after-lap. I learned a great deal from my advisor Jack Davis, who when he was not providing helpful feedback on my work, was always willing to toss the baseball around in the park. I must also thank committee members Sean Adams, Betty Smocovitis, Stephen Perz, Paul Ortiz, and Richard Crepeau as well as University of Florida faculty members Michael Bowen, Juliana Barr, Stephen Noll, Joseph Spillane, and Bill Link. I respect them very much and enjoyed working with them during my time in Gainesville. I also owe many thanks to Dr. Julian Pleasants, Director Emeritus of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, and I could not have finished my project without the encouragement provided by Roberta Peacock. I also thank the staff of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program. Finally, I will always be grateful for the support of David Danbom, Claire Strom, Jim Norris, Mark Harvey, and Larry Peterson, my former mentors at North Dakota State University. A call must go out to Tom Schmeh at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame, Suzanne Wise at the Appalachian State University Stock Car Collection, Mark Steigerwald and Bill Green at the International Motor Racing Resource Center in Watkins Glen, New York, and Joanna Schroeder at the (former) Ethanol Promotion and Information Council (EPIC).

    Auto & Motorcycle Titles Spring 2020 {IPG} The Brown Bullet Rajo Jack's Drive to Integrate Auto Racing Bill Poehler Summary The powers-that-be in auto racing in the 1920s, namely the American Automobile Association’s Contest Board, prohibited everyone who wasn’t a white male from the sport. Dewey Gaston, a black man who went by the name Rajo Jack, broke into the epicenter of racing in California, refusing to let the pervasive racism of his day stop him from competing against entire fields of white drivers. In The Brown Bullet, Bill Poehler uncovers the life of a long-forgotten trailblazer and the great lengths he took to even get on the track, and in the end, tells how Rajo Jack proved to a generation that a black man could compete with some of the greatest white drivers of his era, wining some of the biggest races of the day.

  • 50 Years of NASCAR Captures All That Has Made Bill France’S Dream Into a Firm, Big-Money Reality
    < mill NASCAR OF NASCAR ■ TP'S FAST, ITS FURIOUS, IT'S SPINE- I tingling, jump-out-of-youn-seat action, a sport created by a fan for the fans, it’s all part of the American dream. Conceived in a hotel room in Daytona, Florida, in 1948, NASCAR is now America’s fastest-growing sport and is fast becoming one of America’s most-watched sports. As crowds flock to see state-of-the-art, 700-horsepower cars powering their way around high-banked ovals, outmaneuvering, outpacing and outthinking each other, NASCAR has passed the half-century mark. 50 Years of NASCAR captures all that has made Bill France’s dream into a firm, big-money reality. It traces the history and the development of the sport through the faces behind the scene who have made the sport such a success and the personalities behind the helmets—the stars that the crowds flock to see. There is also a comprehensive statistics section featuring the results of the Winston Cup series and the all-time leaders in NASCAR’S driving history plus a chronology capturing the highlights of the sport. Packed throughout with dramatic color illustrations, each page is an action-packed celebration of all that has made the sport what it is today. Whether you are a die-hard fan or just an armchair follower of the sport, 50 Years of NASCAR is a must-have addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the sport. $29.95 USA/ $44.95 CAN THIS IS A CARLTON BOOK ISBN 1 85868 874 4 Copyright © Carlton Books Limited 1998 Project Editor: Chris Hawkes First published 1998 Project Art Editor: Zoe Maggs Reprinted with corrections 1999, 2000 Picture Research: Catherine Costelloe 10 9876 5 4321 Production: Sarah Corteel Design: Graham Curd, Steve Wilson All rights reserved.
