Thanks, Wes, for the reminder…I was on vacation and mostly offline during this year’s conference and have been trying to get caught up. Having it all on my iPod will really help. It will make my afternoon walks a professional development session!

[...] of listening to the presentations….there was also this idea from Wes Fryer: “K12 in the Palm of my Hand” where he talks about downloading the entire conference and ‘taking it with him’ on his Ipod. [...]

Gail: I think the idea of pre-loading K-12 Online content onto iPods is a GREAT idea. I am going to suggest this to some Apple folks I know… the licensing terms are there to allow this, and it would be great to facilitate folks seeing the content all aggregated on their devices– I am thinking it would be great to have some videos from the conference included on iPods demoed in the Apple Store… is that too big of a dream to wish for?!

As far as reaching out of a bathtub… I think you’d need a waterproof case like the ones made by H2O Audio to do that– certainly doable, but you’d need something extra to keep an iPod safe in a water environment!

Splish, splash, I was taking a bath…..hey technology you can use in a bathtub!!! I like this post – thanks Wes, I am old school sometimes – my kids have iPods but I don’t (well you know….scarce resources….things go to the kids first). This would be a wonderful poster image ……a hand reaching out from the bubbles in the jacuzzi bathtub, holding an iPod that is glowing & alive… Hmmm how much are iPods??? Can we provide one – preloaded with K12 Online to all the school boards to “lend out” to interested but maybe reluctant parties….. with a link to this post too!!! Great job!

You are most welcome Alex, but there are LOTS of folks to thank besides me for sure. I was glad to play a part. I am also glad the conference is over– so is my family! Now, however, I think we have great opportunities to share the content and ideas of the conference with others. I’m hoping our PD committee will work on some strategies for that in the weeks ahead…

It was a lot of fun being able to wake each day and download a few presentations to my iPod. How great to be able to take the inspiration with you wherever you go.

Hey Wes — Thanks for the great instructions. I’ve been downloading the K12Online Presentations on my old video iPod for the entire conference.

Thanks so much for the time you put in on k12. It’s amazing. Changing the world one teacher at a time!
