Online Learning Opportunities

K12 Online Conference
This is an annual conference that takes place in October. The theme of the K12 Online Conference 2008 is Amplifing Possibilities. Here is a link to 2008 conference schedule. The conference started on October 13th with a preconference keynote session.

The format is much easier this year as the presentations can be viewed using a software called dot sub. If you can't find a session that interest you in the 2008 presentation lineup check the schedule for the 2007 conference. Just a word of warning -- some of the sessions may take a long time to download.

Ed Tech Talk
ED Tech Talk is another online learning community. A number of Webcasts are held each week and the mp3 are archived so you can download them to a mp3 player and listen at your convenience.

See Discovery Class page, Week 12 for more details regarding what to do for this online class time.
