GREAT K-12 Online Conference keynote (actually the pre-conference keynote) by David Warlick today: Derailing Education: Taking Sidetrips for Learning. (This is available as a downloadable MPEG-4 video file, which you can watch at your leisure, so don’t worry if you didn’t see it today!) Per David’s suggestion, I’ve posted my notes and thoughts about his presentation to his wiki site.
Our live discussion with David via Elluminate this evening was super also. I got back home at 4:55 pm today from Wichita Falls, where I had been sharing four presentations with educators there at the ESC9 Regional Tech conference. (I’ll post audio and notes from those later.) Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach and Darren Kuropatwa did a fantastic job of facilitating the dialog! I had never worked in Elluminate before, and I was VERY impressed. I’ve participated in live webinars with MacroMedia Breeze, Windows LiveMeeting, and Vyew– but I think Elluminate is better than any of them from an interactive standpoint as well as a cross-platform/accessiblity standpoint. (Sheryl was also a very dynamic and supportive facilitator, which makes a huge difference.)
At one point we had 51 people in the virtual meeting space. I posted some screen captures I made toward the end of the event to Flickr, I’ll post an mp3 audio recording of the session as a podcast later this evening. Sheryl is going to publish the actual Elluminate session to the K-12 Online Conference blog as well.

I would also raise a personal applause for Sheryl. She did a masterful job of providing the personal intermediary between the technology and the human part of the event. Great fun!

[…] An Online Education Conference There is an interesting education going on. Most of the main events are next week but the keynote by David Warwick took place earlier this week. What makes this conference different is that it is all taking place online at http://k12onlineconference.org/ and it involves top educational bloggers from around the world. An international conference with no travel or hotel stay requirements. This may change the way we thing about conferences. A complete schedule is available at http://k12onlineconference.org/docs/k12online06-agenda.html Vicki A Davis has an online conference planning guide with her summary of some of the key events and information. It looks like continuing education credit is available by the way. If that doesn’t make it a real education conference I don’t know what would! Now you would think that this sort of online conference would be less interactive than a live conference but in some ways the opposite if true. For example Dave Warwick is hosting a wiki to discuss the keynote. And of course many of the bloggers who are attending are posting their own notes in their blogs. For example here is a link to Wesley Fryer’s Moving at the Speed of Creativity blog with his notes and screenshots. This is only going to get more interactive and the conference moves into its main schedule next week. OK so there is no big dinner, no parties and no exhibit hall giving away brochures and swag but there looks to be a lot of education going on. It’s going to be interesting to see how it develops.
