Posted by Tony Vincent


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. The K-12 Online Conference is a free and open to anyone. The 2009 sessions have been posted. The sessions are for educators by educators from around the world. All session are online and most can be downloaded from the K-12 Online Conference podcast page in iTunes. You're welcome to simply view the session or participate by adding blog comments or joining the conference's Ning social network.

I haven't had the chance to view all of the session yet, but I would like to share four that I have enjoyed.

Engaging Our Youngest Minds
Angela Maiers in Iowa shares a story of a young learner and the habits necessary to ignite a "wow" in students.

Steal this Preso! Copyright, Fair Use, and Pirates in the Classroom
Matthew Needleman, a primary school teacher in California, presents myths and realities of copyrights as they relate to multimedia projects in the classroom.

Parallel Play or Collaboration--Leveraging the Wiki Platform for High Quality Work
Paula White, Gifted Resource Teacher in Virginia, helps participants think about the differences between a project that is a glorified drop box and one that truly involves students in authentic work. She tells about making wikis purposeful, personally meaningful, and engaging.

Probing the Possiblities of Paperless Pedagogy
Jason Neiffer, high school teacher in Montana, tells about using Google tools, Web 2.0 tools, and a mix of computer labs hours and checkout laptops to eliminate shuffling papers for his Newspaper Production and World Cultures classes. Jason has been going paperless for three months and reports his early results and its impact on his courses.

There are over 50 more sessions available. Scroll through the K-12 Online Conference's schedule to view more presentations.
