On September 26, 2009, the K12Online Conference in partnership with EdTechTalk  hosted a worldwide, sychronous “LAN party” (free web meet-up) from 2:00PM EDT (6:00PM GMT) to 5:00PM EDT (9:00PM GMT).  This was our  K12Online Conference overview of the LAN Party. We were joined by the Live Events committee in kicking-off our virtual LAN party. This event provided an opportunity to try out the synchronous EdTechTalk environment and platform, which we will be using for the 2009 K-12 Online Conference in December
