Based in Shanghai, China,
Jeff Utecht who blogs over at the Thinking Stick has just come up with the coolest idea as to how he is celebrating/participating in the K12Online Conference. I pulled this from his blog...
As for Unleashing the Potential the online K-12 conference David discusses let me tell you what I’m in the process of putting together here at my school. I will submit a proposal to present at the conference but I wanted to take this a step further so I’m in the process of taking this online conference offline here in China and creating an opportunity to learn.
My plan is to gather everyone who wants to ‘attend’ this conference, give them all a laptop order a bunch of pizza and beer and listen, watch, and read the conference online. We will then create a podcasts of our discussions as we discuss the various presentations. I will then load the podcast either here or talk to the organizers of the conference and load them directly into the conference as a way to add to the conversation.
Just think of the possibilities, the discussions and the learning. My goal is to get at least 10 teachers/administrators to attend the conference. I plan on making it a relaxed affair at someone’s house with drinks and food. Now, who wouldn’t want to come to a conference like that! I’m even working with our PD person to try and get teachers who attend credits through our partner university, University of Plymouth.
Well as one of the organizers let me tell you... when Darren shared this with all of the conveners today I was just blown away! This is the coolest idea ever! I hope we can get Jeff and his crew to log on for an Elluminate session and let other participants around the world join in on the party! We will record the entire thing so everyone can listen in.
How about you? What are your plans for participating and adding to the discussions?
