What is Web 2.0?
We are going to get a taste of what Web 2.0 – or as it is also called, the Read/Write Web – is all about. We will explore how you can harness the power of the Read/Write web as a means of constructing new knowledge through conversation, networking, and collaboration.

The following video from the Youville Blog will not only get your head started spinning, but will also get us started talking.

K12Online Conference Teasers

What a fantastic idea! Teasers. The presenters at the conference have made little teasers to let conference attendees SEE and HEAR what their presentations will cover.

You can find them on the K12Online Conference wiki: http://k12online07.wikispaces.com/Teasers

I saw several I am interested in, for example:
Karen Richardson-- “Crossing the Copyright Boundary in the Digital Age”


Go. Look. See.

Thanks!

K12 Online Conference 2007 - FREE ONLINE Conference

I can't believe I forgot to remind every one about this FREE online conference. If you have attended in the past, you know what a gluttonous, overabundance of resources are shared every day. It is not too late to jump in.

Here is a link to the conference home: http://k12onlineconference.org/
Here is a link to the conference wiki: http://k12online07.wikispaces.com/

"The K-12 Online Conference invites participation from educators around the world interested in innovative ways Web 2.0 tools and technologies can be used to improve learning. This FREE conference is run by volunteers and open to everyone. The 2007 conference theme is “Playing with Boundaries”. This year’s conference begins with a pre-conference keynote the week of October 8, 2007. The following two weeks, October 15-19 and October 22-26, forty presentations will be posted online to the conference blog (this website) for participants to download and view. Live Events in the form of three “Fireside Chats” and a culminating “When Night Falls” event will be announced. Everyone is encouraged to participate in both live events during the conference as well as asynchronous conversations. More information about podcast channels and conference web feeds is available!

Hope to see you there!
