PLaN Party!! Vance has been an admirer of the annual K-12 Online Conference since its inception in 2006.  Its website is here: http://k12onlineconference.org/?page_id=1046.

The way this works is that starting now already, the mavens at K12 Online start releasing pre-recorded presentations for participants to download.  Here is the page where recordings released so far may be seen: http://k12onlineconference.org/?page_id=1091; Twitter updates: https://twitter.com/k12online

You can view or listen to the presentations in various ways.  The site is set up for easy download via iTunes.  However if you have issues with iTunes (mobile firmware out of date, want to get the audio onto non-Apple mp3 or mp4 device) then you can subscribe to the feed in a feed reader and download what you need manually if downloads do not proceed automatically.  Here is the feed link http://k12onlineconference.org/?feed=rss2 .

18 presentations will be live by the time we meet on Oct 28

Pre-Conference Keynote by guitarist songwriter teacher Kevin Honeycutt: Oct 15th

Launching Learning

Presenter: Kevin Honeycutt
Location: Inman, Kansas

Presentation Description: In this PreConference Keynote for the 2012 K-12 Online Conference, educator Kevin Honeycutt challenges us to “remix learning” by combining our old models for school with today’s possibilities to make learning more interesting and engaging for students. We shouldn’t amputate kids’ digital limbs when they come to school! If Applebee’s can be lit theatrically to make your food more interesting, why can’t this be true in our schools? We need to hear more reasons why we CAN make learning more interesting, and invite the students to help us co-create our learning environments. How do we let students get excited about their learning and become archeologists of their own learning? Rather than focusing on what we CAN’T do, let’s focus on what we CAN do no matter what our budget is. The “killer app” for the 21st century is “to learn to love to learn.” Kevin challenges us to think new ideas, get rid of laminated lesson plans, and be an advocates for students as together we embrace project-based learning.
