This K12 Online Conference kicks off with great 20min. presentations every day this week.

The focus is on several areas, but for the sake of Digital Magic, I will talk about the Getting Started Strand. Here are some video teasers to help you decide if you are interested in seeing any of these presentations.

Tomorrow Alice Bar, Bob Sprankle, Cheryl Oakes kick things off with “What Is School?”. As an aside, I will have the honour of being their guest on a live webcast called SEEDLINGS that these three educators co-host. This will also become a podcast that you can listen to later.

Here is a conference schedule.

The nice thing about this conference is that it is digital and you don’t have to watch anything right away. I first heard about the conference (after it was over) in 2006. That’s when I watched David Warlick’s Keynote and wrote a blog post about it (when I was just starting blogging).

I hope that you will find something here that you think is valuable! Remember that ‘Getting Started’ is just one strand of the conference and there is more than this to see!
