Announcing the first annual “K12 Online 2006″ convention for teachers, administrators and educators around the world interested in the use of Web 2.0 tools in classrooms and professional practice. This year’s conference is scheduled to be held over two weeks, Oct. 23-27 and Oct. 30- Nov. 3 with the theme “Unleashing the Potential.” The K12 Online 2006 blog has just gone live.

Check out this great article on Web 2.0 sites from Solution Watch. Some are for older students, but there’s a bunch listed that teachers might like too!!
Okay, maybe it’s too soon to tell, but would you like to have a page like this? It’s pretty easy to do…you don’t need any special programs…just a web browser. You do everything (including picking the style of your page) by filling in forms and checking (or un-checking) boxes. The only thing that is helpful to know how to do is cutting and pasting from a word processing program (like MS Word). BUT, you don’t have to know how to do this. The only reason I like to start first in Word is because I am addicted to spell check, and as of yet, edublogs does not have spell check. If you are interested in making a page like this, you should come to one of the Web 2.0 inservices! There will be two in October (Oct. 18-East and Oct. 23-GWC) right after school. You’ll even receive unscheduled inservice hours…so think about it. Email me if you want to come!
