Brandi: It doesn’t necessarily have to focus on one tool. For example I could imagine a presentation on customizing a classroom blog with various Google Gadgets: a different slate of gadgets for various disciplines, grade levels, projects, or what have you.

On the other hand, you might focus on one pedagogy which might lead to using a small suite of tools. For example: How can we foster metacognition in the work we have our students do? You might look at using blogs, wikis, podcasts, screencasts, etc. to do this while keeping the focus on the one idea of metacognition. It might be realized through the co-creation of assessment criteria; reflective blog posts (how do we orchestrate meaningful refelctive work in our students?), reflective photo stories on flickr (A Story in 5 Photos), correcting/editing other students work in a wiki, etc.

All this is just off the top of my head. Maybe, by thinking in terms of pedagogies instead of tools you might have a different way of thinking about your proposal and how you want to pitch it.

I hope this helps some.

I understand that it is suppose to be more of a “how to” as well as a “why” presentation for those new to using Web 2.0 tools. It should focus on one tool. Well, it seems that so many tools have been hashed and rehashed everywhere, I don’t want to reinvent the wheel. Is it appropriate to sort of remix the best of info about that particular tool and put it together for a buffet of info on the tool? Does that make any sense? I am trying to wrap my brain around my proposal and keep running into walls. Let me know soon!

It will be a big part of our PD at Qatar Academy in the first semester. Great opportunity to hear from international experts and people doing it in the classroom.

We’ll be inviting others to share the pre-con keynote and keynote tho, rest assured. I have wished it was possible to share a preso for the conference at times, but the opportunity to help convene and facilitate the conference is very rewarding. This is the most important and valuable collaborative activity with which I have ever been involved professionally, and I can’t overstate how important I think this work is. It’s going to be very exciting to see how K12Online continues to grow this year!
