K12 Online 2016 New Format

Published by:

The K12 Online Conference is remaking itself. 

Rather than publish approximately 40 video presentations within a three week window in October, this year the K12 Online Conference will:

  1. Include several different mini-conferences spread out throughout the year. 
  2. Feature (as in the past) 20 minute keynote video presentations in different strands.
  3. Include live interactive panel discussions focusing on the theme of each keynote.
  4. Offer asynchronous interaction options for participants using Voxer and Twitter chats.

These changes recognize both the growing number of interactive presentation and online conference options for educators, as well as the value of the mostly asynchronous, video-based format of our conference since 2006. 

Watch this space for more details coming very soon.
