  • 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. This FREE conference is run by volunteers and open to everyone. The 2007 conference theme is “Playing with Boundaries”. This year’s conference begins with a pre-conference keynote the week of October 8, 2007. The following two weeks, October 15-19 and October 22-26, forty presentations will be posted online to the conference blog (this website) for participants to download and view. Live Events in the form of three “Fireside Chats” and a culminating “When Night Falls” event will be announced. Everyone is encouraged to participate in both live events during the conference as well as asynchronous conversations.
  • So the question for me becomes how do we avoid using new technology with old
    teaching habits? Maybe if our old teaching habits are effective we don't need to
    avoid anything. But who's to say what is effective... student performance on
    state assessments? This is why reflection is so important. Only through
    reflection will things change for the better. I will try to answer through
    discussion and reflection two questions. 1) Is my use of technology making a
    difference? 2) Is the technology in my classroom being guided by curriculum or
    by my own individual values? I think we all have to be willing to ake a hinest
    and critical look at what we do not just at what we want to do.
