K-12 Online Conference 2006

www.k12onlineconference.org

Announcing the first annual “K-12 Online 2006″ convention for teachers, administrators and educators around the world interested in the use of Web 2.0 tools in classrooms and professional practice. This year’s conference is scheduled to be held over two weeks, Oct. 23-27 and Oct. 30- Nov. 3 with the theme “Unleashing the Potential.” The K-12 Online 2006 blog has recently gone live! Admission and participation in this event is absolutely FREE!

On the conference blog you will also find the web form we will be using for the submission of proposals. Everyone is encouraged to submit a proposal. The conference blog will be updated regularly with everything you need to know about the events related to this conference. Please be creative and submit suggestions for other ways we can engage in discussions together about these topics!

As the convener of strand 2 during week 2 of the conference, “Overcoming Obstacles,” I encourage you to submit a proposal in this strand! The submission deadline for all abstracts is September 30, 2006. The strand description is:

Tips, ideas and resources on how to deal with issues like: lack of access to tools/computers, filtering, parental/district concerns for online safety, and other IT concerns while trying to focus on best practice in the use of Web 2.0 tools.

For more info, read the full announcement post on the blog and the proposal guidelines. Each week there will be some fireside chats, and we’re hoping to have a culminating 24 hour skypecast that will circle the globe. This is going to a blast and a wonderful opportunity to learn more about web 2.0 as it relates to helping students and teachers more effectively learn and collaborate in the 21st century! :-)
