Scott Charlson presented the session “K12 Student Engagement: Beyond the 3:00 Bell” at the 2008 Oklahoma Distance Learning Association (ODLA) conference on 13 Nov 2008. These are a few of the links and notes I jotted down from his session.
A Ustream.tv recorded archive of Scott’s session is available.

After Scott’s session, I learned about Mike Garmon, a teacher at Altus High School who has setup the website http://bulldoghigh.com
- Lisa Wahrmund is an English4 teacher at the school
- The IT department in Altus is blocking this website and preventing students and teachers from using the Moodle environment setup by Mike from being used at school
- Mike has written an extensive, 25 page justification / argument for using this Moodle enviornment to support learning at Altus High School
I am going to reach out to Mike and see if I can interview him as well as the Altus IT director to get more information about this situation.
