K12 Online Conference - free online networking and learning starting next week

I've stumbled across the K12 Online Conference before, but this year is the first year that I've registered for it and plan to attend. Between now and the keynote (read: this weekend), I plan to look back through the archives to see past presentations and resources. If you're interested, you can find the main website at http://k12onlineconference.org/, or sign up for the conference on their Ning site, http://k12online.ning.com/.

Once we get back to school next week, I'll probably send the info to a couple of my more tech-savvy teachers. I don't know yet how this model of collaboration and learning might fit in with formal professional development - I think I'll also run it by my Assistant Principal in charge of PD. In this era of tightening budgets, perhaps it'll be more well received...
