If you haven’t already heard yet, the K12 Online Conference is ramping up again for 2007. The official call for proposals can be found here. I really think what they put together last year was absolutely incredible, and is still a valuable resource to educators regardless of their experience level.

Last year I presented a session on mobile learning. While it went alright and got some positive feedback, I’m thinking that I could have done so much more. The most impressive presentation of the conference to me was Alan Levine’s session on new web tools. He did an incredible job of using those tools to teach people what’s significant about them. It really made me reconsider just how valuable a standard video really is, when there are so many other tools available. While the format I used was iPod compatible, it wasn’t the most effective for conveying the information I was sharing.

Anyway, whether you decide to pitch a proposal or just attend a few sessions, the K12 Online Conference is definitely one to keep an eye on!
