Announcing K12 Online 2009 Presenters
Since 2006, the K-12 Online Conference has provided outstanding opportunities for free, collaborative, accessible professional learning for educators around the globe. The 2009 conference promises to again provide more exemplary learning opportunities in the same spirit of collaboration and sharing! The learning will begin with a pre-conference keynote during the week of November 30, 2009. We again invite presenters to submit “teaser trailers” for their presentations in advance of the conference.
This year’s fantastic line up of keynote presenters will create an inviting and welcoming introduction in which the sharing of ideas among diverse learners working in diverse contexts continues. Our distinguished keynote speakers will not only extend the conversations, but also invite each of us to stretch and grow as they share their expertise and wisdom in their respective strands. See our post from June 24th for more information about keynote speakers in each of our 2009 strands.
The presentations accompanying the keynotes for each strand have been selected in 2009 through the collaborative work of a review committee composed of conference conveners and strand keynote speakers. The selection process was challenging as the quality of proposals was again outstanding. We thank everyone who submitted a proposal. Due to some changes in the procedures our presenters will follow this year in uploading / sharing their video files, we were able to select more presentations in each strand. More details about those procedures will follow soon. We are elated to announce the K12 Online 2009 presenters whose creativity, depth of thought, and innovation promise to make K12 Online 2009 exemplary.
The presenters by strand are:

Looking for a badge for my blog. Is there one for the 2009 k12online conf? Also, when will a schedule be posted (or maybe I’m missing it…)
OK, I found the badge on Wes’s blog. There needs to be a media/advocacy link or something somewhere we can grab logos (that are licensed appropriately) for our blogs. Maybe a header image, a badge with badge instructions, and other pertinent info/images. What do you say?
