Thanks inviting us in and enlightening us in your educational system. The amazing thing about the K12 online conference is ‘attending’ sessions that we might not choose had the conference been done over a weekend in one location.

One thing we are beginning to talk about in our district is ‘level’ the playing field for our students. It is really cool that you have decided to using Web 2.0 tools to level the playing field for all of your students. It seems that your connectivity within schools is good, but what percentage of your students are connected to the internet while at home? Have you established expectations of your teachers? What type of professional development have you offered your teachers?

I am really excited to see how Glow takes off over the next few years. Is there an easy way to monitor the success of Glow?
