Rather than post one of my regular Weekly Tech Tips this week I would like to turn your attention, if it is not already there, to the K12 Online Conference. The K12 Online Conference is a free annual online education and technology conference. Unlike other conferences this one is asynchronous and all presentations are archived for future viewing. The session presentations are created and shared using web 2.0 tools (most of them free). Sessions are curated by a group of conference conveners and in the weeks of the conference they release the links daily to give the sense of an event. These sessions are created by teachers with real classroom application in mind.
