    Am looking forward to this exciting event. As a Director of Technology I am anxious to have many of my teachers join as well. Looking for ways to guide some of them – perhaps by bringing them together to participate as a group – a little hand holding goes a long way. Anxious to learn the format so that I can plan how best to use this opportunity within our district.

I am a superintendent Massachusetts ASCD affiliate president who knows very little about Web 2.0 applications and pedagogies, but I see the potential and want to learn more. skype / twitter / diigo / slideshare / flatworld project / technorati / tags / rss / flickr ….. I am looking forward to the conference in October 2007.

    I first became aware of K-12 Online after reading Tim Holt’s (El Paso ISD) blog. What a tremendous wealth of knowledge & collaboration here. As my company (InfoSource Learning) looks to expand upon its web-based offerings many of the topics discussed such as Web 2.0, podcasting, blogging, & wiki’s are topics I would like to better educate myself about. Also, as a proud parent of two I find value in learning more about the future and how my children will learn & collaborate.

    I can remember watching David Warlick’s K12 Online Conference Keynote “Derailing Education” last year. I watched it almost a month after it was originally presented… while doing the dishes. I had plastic Saran wrap over the mouse pad of my laptop so that I could back up the video when I wanted to hear something again. Before I knew it, I was writing a response in my blog.

    Warlick said,
    “This is why the foundation of education systems today should not be the rails, but it should be the side trips. It should not be the central standard curriculum, but it should be those directions that students, that learners, both teachers and students, can navigate to on their own. We have the ability to do that today.”

    I’m looking forward to the side trips this conference will take me on:-)

    Last year’s K-12 Online Conference completely changed the way I look at PD. Never again will I sit through a one-off “sit and git” presentation. I’m so looking forward to this year’s conference, given what we’ve all learned this past year about active participation through all of the back-channelling, sharing, blogging, tagging, and twittering activities in which we’ve been involved. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day here in Canada; so no need to start the day with my nose to the grindstone. I can’t think of a better way to kick off the day than David Warlick’s keynote. To everyone who worked so hard on the organizing committees, to the presenters for continuing to share their insight, and to the bloggers and twitterers who will provide so much added-value, my thanks!!!

    Well you see my comment from two years ago about wandering around! I have learned so much from this conference each year. I plan to participate more this year with comments. Next year my goal will be to CONTRIBUTE. I think I go beyond a few of my peers with “using ” technology, but I am definitely not in the 21st century yet as I am not creating or contributing on a regular basis. That is my goal for the coming year and I hope this conference will support that idea!

    I just commented a couple of paragraphs of stuff I thought was important. I am really frustrated. I cannot decipher the code words that have to be typed to make the words appear. I am having to ask my high school student daughter to type them in. I really see different characters than are posted. I am looking forward to participating! I have leasrned so much the last two years of this conference!

    I am hoping to attend this year. I have been lurking the previous years!

    I am teacher at a high school in Greenland and studying for a MA in “ICT and Learning” at Aalborg University in Denmark via the internet.

    I’m Tania Sheko from Melbourne, Australia. I’m a teacher librarian and have also taught English, German and French. I hope to have time to check in and enjoy all the ideas and resources, as well as meet new people. It’s great to be present online when geographical distances prevent real attendance.

    Hi, I’m a teacher librarian in northern British Columbia in a Grade 8-12 school in Chetwynd. I teach English 9 and often many other subjects from Social Studies to Career and Personal Planning. I view this as a wonderful chance to start making connections and to get some ideas about how to incorporate global learning into my classes. Already I’m excited and hope to be able to get time for all the resources and connections.

    After reading these posts, I am looking forward to learning how I, as an elementary librarian, can bring 21st century skills into my classroom in West Virginia!

    This will be a great learning opportunity!
