A wise man once said, “None of us are as good as all of us,” and in that light the conveners of K12 Online 2007 are requesting volunteers to chair and serve on committees that will support the upcoming K12Online conference.
Each committee will have a convener, a chair, and three committee members, to make up a five member team.
The committees are as follows:
Media and Communications (Public Relations)- This committee will be responsible for getting the word out about the conference.
Convener– Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach (snbeach at cox dot net)
——————
Live Events – This committee handles live events during the conference, our culminating event “When Night Falls” and fireside chats.
Convener– Lani Ritter-Hall (lanihall at alltel dot net)
——————
Help Desk– This committee will be the conference technical support team and will work from a proactive role in terms of recommending tools and “how-tos.”
Convener– Darren Kuropatwa (dkuropatwa at gmail dot com)
——————
Professional Development– This committee will arrange opportunities for graduate credit and Continuing Education points that can be obtained globally.
Convener– Wes Fryer (wesfryer at yahoo dot com)
