Announcing the first annual “K12 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 K12 Online 2006 blog has just gone live.
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. More details are on the conference blog: www.k12onlineconference.org. The blog will be updated regularly with everything you need to know about the conference.
This is such an exciting concept. Having people from around the world share ideas and resources. Many of these people are experts in the use of Web 2.0 technology in education, so why wouldn’t you participate in such a great idea?
And if you are in Australia like me, there is no reason to miss out as presentations will be made available for download.
Well done to the organisers.

I am a student at Grand Valley State University, studying to be a High School Teacher. This concept is a great one! Having the ability to participate internationally in this kind of intellectual sharing is wonderful.

This ability to submit proposals seems like a marvelous idea. This really seems like the future of education, developing national and even international standards and benchmarks for developing the curriculum for a developing and constantly evolving world.
The concept of talking to fellow educators from across the globe seem like a good resource for all educators to use. Being able to download the available presentations is an added benefit for those of you that can not travel the distance.

I think that this idea is quite an innovative one, very new and cutting edge. I also like the fact that everyone will be involved, and they are drawing on everyone’s ideas. This way nobody feels left out, and everyone gets to feel as though they participated. The pooling of great ideas, especially ones concerning a topic as influential as this, can only result in good things.
