Thank you to all who responded to the call to join the K12 Online Conference 2009 Team. There is much work ahead for all. Committee chairs and members will be contacted soon. The first priority was to get the PR committee formed so they could get right to work. Patrick Woessner is the PR committee chair with Lisa Parisi, Theresa White, Paula Naugle, and Paula White as members.
The PR committee hit the ground running with a planning wiki containing some great ideas. Thank you, Patrick for getting this started. In Patrick’s words, “We clearly want to reach as many educators as possible, and ideally that will include the masses who may not be aware of the conference. I’m hoping we expand our collective reach and find ways to inform and engage our colleagues who may not be “plugged in”.
In the coming days and weeks. look for suggestions from the PR committee that will help to spread the message that will prompt educators to learn more and get involved with K12Online 2009. It will be important to get that message disseminated through a variety of channels in order to reach the masses.
