Convection Charging, if I remember correctly, occurs when you have 3 objects. Two of these objects are placed on either side of the third (which is a neutral Insulator [yes, insulator is key to convection charging]) and these two are charged with opposite polarities. This causes the third, middle object's electrons to be attracted to to either side of the object; the negative charges towards the positively charged object, and the positive charges towards the negatively charged object. This results in the third, middle object having sides oppositely polarized, much like the idea of a magnet (yet not, because they are very different in every other way). Since the third object is an insulator, it holds its new charge "separation" for much longer than a conductor or semiconductor, long enough even to cut in half and have two oppositely polarized pieces of that insulator.

Charging an object by conduction is charging it by allowing it to come into contact with an object which already has an electric charge.
