The notion of soliciting prospective participants ideas on what they would like to see in the presentations is very interesting. As a presenter for the 2006 conference i must admit that in getting my stuff together, I had little idea of the expectations of the participants and the final product was a real "shot in the dark". It was really nice that in the end I did get some positive feedback both then and over the past few months via other than K12 links. On the other hand, one of the real joys of the conference from the participant angle was in the anticipation of reading the abstracts and then finding out how innovatively presenters had developed not only the content but also the mode of presentation. Developing presentations to meet participant's expressed needs may stifle some of this creativity. In addition participants may not really know what they need to know, (oh my gosh is this shades of Donald Rumsfield?). Perhaps a mix of the two, some expressions of participant wants/needs balanced with some creative innovative options may be the way to go. Firstly congratulations on already beginning planning for K12 2007, last year’s was a real blast.

I'd arrange such a list by the strands that you want to run. That'd be useful. Very useful. Thanks in advance for all the hard work you're about to get back into for the K12!
