This document outlines steps for developing a synchronous virtual conferencing platform for K-12 professional development. It proposes creating a free conference using Google tools that allows ongoing professional learning communities for teachers. Key steps include forming a committee, investigating free virtual meeting rooms, developing a free website for registration and scheduling, collecting data in Google Drive, and providing advertising, support for presenters, and continuing education credits. The goal is to provide an affordable and accessible virtual solution for ongoing teacher training and networking.
Speaks VOLumes-Free PD on Demand for TeachersPeggy George
Free PD on Demand for Educators--What, Why, Where, How?
Co-presenters: Dr. Peggy George and Lorna Constantini
In these times of severe budget cuts and compelling needs for meaningful professional development for teachers, we need quality, no-cost/low-cost alternatives. We want/need to respond to the demands for transforming education to meet the needs of 21st century learners, but how? Classroom 2.0 Live co-hosts, Peggy George (retired elementary principal and university pre-service education instructor) and Lorna Costantini (educational consultant in Ontario, Canada) will share how they help educators use Web 2.0 technologies to support learning. Learn how they participate in (and host) free online webinars and conferences on a regular basis, and how they collaborate via Twitter/Facebook to learn from and share with educators in a professional learning network (PLN). In this presentation they will share their discoveries and specific resources to help you learn what's available, where to find it and possible ways to use it for your own "PD on Demand" in your districts/schools.

How Do You Keep the Conversation Going After Your Event? - Erica St. AngelErica St. Angel
This presentation was part of Event Camp Twin Cities 2010, a meeting experiment combining hybrid meeting, webcasting, videoconferencing, face to face meeting and group work to come up with 37 Dynamite Ideas For Keeping the Conversation Going After Your Event.
While our events are an explosion of content, ideas, conversations and new connections, we have a hard time keeping the conversations going after the event. It’s time that we put our heads together and figured out how we can use those massive piles of content, ideas and network connections to create lasting value and conversations beyond our event.
Join Erica St. Angel, VP of Marketing at Sonic Foundry, as she leads us through a collaborative process to come up with 37 dynamite ideas and strategies for leveraging our post event content. This session will start with a group confession where we uncover missed opportunities, and end with a shared self-help wiki of (at least) 37 ways to create lasting value from events.
