We’re doing a similar concept with our consultants. Wondering if you have a digital copy of the signage for the LAN that appears in the video at 50 second point.

Thanks

John

A great story of social learners and learning.

FYI – Some technical difficulties with the DOTSub video audio not matching the video and when I tried the Blip.TV version it was fine until it stopped half way through the presentation at the point when your principal was commenting on his belief in the capacity of staff to teach each other.

Thanks for sharing this success story, nonetheless.

1. The LAN party model has worked in North Vancouver to create a showcase for K12 Online presentations and begin a conversation between the teachers in our district. Is this a model you think could work in your school or school district? Why or why not?

2. LAN is only one model for gathering an audience for the K12 Online Conference. What methods are you using to share the K12 Online Conference with colleagues?

3. Do you believe that learning is social? How do you see learning in a social situation enhancing the learning experience for you and your students?

This kind of event could be scaled to suit your resources and needs. For instance, a small school might pick one presentation to watch together on a Pro. D. day or at a staff meeting. The richness lies both in the presentation and the conversations that come from a group of interested viewers.

There are so many support people required to pull it off though and I wonder if other schools and districts have the personnel and hardware to be successful. I will check out the referenced link wiki44.ca to get a better picture of the organization and planning aspect.
Good goal to keep in mind though. I like the idea of developing an online presence through PLN building without expecting everyone to start blogging tomorrow.
