Hello from Montreal. A retired teacher colleague told me about your site.

I wrote the blog “Jive Chalkin” in my last two years of teaching high school in Montreal.

It’s about the daily life of an English teacher.

I also presented educational seminars across Canada, to teachers, parents, and administrators.

In reply to John Martin. We don't have podcast feeds setup yet but will, John. We'll link these off the main blog page link for feeds when they are available.

Hi gang,
Just wondering if the podcast feeds are setup for the 09 Conf? I want to make sure I don’t miss a thing if I can’t attend in real-time. Now that I’m back in K-12, I’m really looking forward to re-engaging with this community.

Best,
John

Linda: We’ll put out a call for volunteers for the 2009 conference. The actual call for proposals should go out in late Spring.

This is fabulous. I can’t believe I’m just now finding this conference.
Since this is all volunteers, how does one get involved with the next one?

Hi Debbie– the K-12 Online Conference does not have a sponsor or sponsors like a traditional conference. Elluminate does provide us with virtual meeting rooms for our live events, and the College of William and Mary provides our hosted server space for presentation files, and we have their logos on our homepage. Other than that we do not have formal organizational support outside our committees. As far as committees, if you’ll look above these comments in this “about” page post you’ll see our current committee structure and the people serving on those committees for our current 2008 conference. Our conference is far more than “four people putting on a show.” The heart of the conference is our 41 presentations, which are put together by educators around the world, and the conversations which ensue around them. I’d encourage you to visit our conference wiki to get more info:

We have also published four different audio podcasts this year for “behind K12Online” that gives more info about the conference and our process running it:

The conferences I normally attend are sponsored by an entity of some sort. A library association or a technology group for example… It appears to me in a quick browse that four people got together to put on a show. I do see evidence of committee involvement. Am I missing something or is there a sponsor?
