The K12Online Conference has started today with its opening keynote by Kim Cofino.

The K12 Conference is entirely free and online.  You don’t need to register to “attend” and once presentations go live they are available forever.  You can never “miss” a presentation because you can always go back and see them.

Teachers attend the conference all around the world.  Unfortunately, since the conference is free, there’s no money for publicity and in many districts including my own, K12Online remains a big secret. Particularly when money to attend conferences is scarce, a free conference seems awfully appealing.  If you’re not involved in the blogosphere, trust me when I saw that some of the great minds in educational technology are presenting here for free.

Check it out, you have nothing to lose. My own presentation, Steal This Preso:  Copyrights, Fair Use, and Pirates in the Classroom! goes live on the very last day of the conference.

Here’s a downloadable flyer to share.  View this year’s presentations here and check out the upcoming schedule (as each presentation comes online, the link to the presentation will become active).
