K12 Online 2006 Conference…
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.” A call for proposals is below.
There will be four “conference strands”– two each week. Two presentations will be published in each strand each day, Monday – Friday, so four new presentations will be available each day over the course of the two weeks. Each presentation will be given in podcast or screencast format and released via the conference blog and archived for posterity.
The post then details the four strands (A Week in the Classroom, Basic/Advanced Training, Personal Professional Development, Overcoming Obstacles), the convenors and keynotes (Bud Hunt, Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach, Ewan McIntosh, Anne Davis), and the call for proposals for teachers to submit Web 2.0-focused presentations. Content is kept structurally the same as the original, with pronouns shifted to we/our where appropriate.

Teachers as Master Learners
We argue that what matters most today is not teachers as master knowers of content, but as master learners who model and apprentice students into the processes of learning—especially within social and technological networks that extend far beyond classroom walls.
