Week of November 28 - December 4, 2009
Welcome to this week's EdTechTalk (ETT) newsletter! We hope everyone in the United States had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. This past week was a busy week at ETT. The K12Online2009 Conference kicked off with Kim Cofino's keynote entitled, "Going Global: Culture Shock, Convergence, and the Future of Education". Kim presented from Bangkok, Thailand to a packed house of over 125 attendees! Participants viewed Kim's keynote and posed questions in the chat of Kim to respond from her school, the International School of Bangkok, before her classes began. The recording and chat log will be posted on the K12Online Conference ning and more information about future presentations at http://k12online.ning.com/. Many ETT present and past show hosts as well as community members will have presentations posted the conference Ning. Special thanks go out to the Kim Confino, the K12Online Conference Co-conveners, Sheila Adams for streaming, the k12Online Conference Live Events Committee,
