This was announced over on K12Onlineconference.org today.
There has been a bit of a glitch with the proposal submission form. It seems it is only accepting one submission from each IP address. The last submission overwrites the earlier written material.
The deadline
for submissions is extended until Friday, June
22.
For all who
made or would like to make multiple proposal
submissions:
1. Your final submission has been received.
2. Please email any other submissions to the convener of the strand for which the proposal is submitted.
To all who
have not yet submitted a proposal:
1. The deadline is extended until Friday, June 22.
2. You’re encouraged to submit a proposal to present. Personal Learning Networks, in particular, could benefit from your expertise.
PLEASE Consider submitting to this important strand...
(It would mean a lot to me personally if you would)
Strand A: Professional Learning Networks
Research says that professional development is most effective when it
aims to create professional learning communities — places where
teachers learn and work together. Using Web 2.0 tools educators can
network with others around the globe extending traditional boundaries
of ongoing, learner centered professional development and support.
Presentations in this strand will include tips, ideas and resources on
how to orchestrate your own professional development online; concrete
examples of how the tools that support Professional Learning
Environments (PLEs) are being used; how to create a supportive,
reflective virtual learning community around school-based goals, and
trends toward teacher directed personal learning environments.
It's too bad this went under my radar! Well, I hadn't started my collaboration using Understanding by Design as a framework until June 10. If you would like to check it out (it's still in its infancy and not much activity, but I'm thinking it will pick up as the school year starts), it's at http://ubdeducators.wikispaces.com/.
