The edu-blogosphere is a-buzz with news about the K12 Online 2006 Conference. There does not appear to be a link yet to the conference web site, but even without it, there is enormous conversation happening already about this event that will not occur anywhere, but instead occur everywhere.
The already signed conveners and presenters include:
- Darren Kuropatwa
- Bud Hunt
- Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach
- Alan Levine
- Will Richardson
- Ewan McIntosh
- Ann Davis
It appears that the only limitations to what can happen in this conference is the imaginations of some incredibly creative people. Definitely an event to be attended, from where ever you might be — and I’ll be in five states during that time. But I’ll definitely be at K12 Online.
Also, I have set up a Hitchhikr page for the conference, and tentatively set k12online and k12online06 as conference tags. This may change, though it is already picking up significant bloggings.

This is great and a possible solution to a problem recently discussed on K12OS lists and blogs. We have just been discussing the dilemna of not being able to afford to attend and present at numerous conferences. Virtual conferences – worth a go.
