Please help us spread the word about the 2009 K-12 Online Conference by forwarding one of the two-page PDF flyers below to other educators with whom you work and know. While we encourage forwarding via email attachment to save paper/trees, this PDF flyer is also appropriate to print (as a double sided / duplex page) and place in teacher mailboxes at school! Feel free to use this however you can to spread the word about the K-12 Online Conference!

Because we are an international conference, we are continuing to use GMT times for all our events both on our 2009 schedule as well as on our Ning Events page. Converting GMT times can be confusing, however, so we are providing editable MS-Word (.doc) format versions of these documents so you can customize these times for your local time zone. Note on both our main conference schedule page as well as our conference Ning site Events page, hyperlinks are provided to “fixed date and time pages” on timeanddate.com. Click these provided links to view event start dates/times for your local time zone. Then edit one of the MS-Word formatted flyers for your local time zone, and circulate that to educators you know.

Note the time for our first fireside chat is 1 am GMT on Friday, December 4th, which is 8 pm EST on Thursday, December 3rd. These differences in dates and times due to time zones make it essential we provide educators with localized dates/times on printed flyers when possible.

Bookmark / favorite our 2009 Conference Schedule page! As presentations are published each day of our main conference weeks, links to those videos will be added to the conference schedule as well as posted here on our conference blog. (They’ll “go live” here on the blog first.) Presenters will also be adding embedded links to their videos on our conference Ning, and adding discussion posts for their presentations in our Ning forum.

If you have not already, please join our conference Ning to participate in discussions there throughout and following our 2009 conference.
