Suggestions for Sessions I would love to see us feature Chris Betcher's presentation "Ways of Working"--not only is the content fantastic but his process for creating the video is fascinating. I think people would love to hear him talk about his video and ideas for enriching student learning. Chris is in Sydney, Australia which is +11:00 so I think it would be 6:00am next day for him. (Peggy) - actually it's 11:00 AM when it is 8:00 pm here in Montreal - I guess they don't change the clocks as early as we do. For the April date it would be 10:00 am in Sydney. Is Chris in the classroom? I also loved his presentation.

Letter to Presenters
Dear K12 Online Conference Presenters,

This year we would like to keep the great ideas coming from your presentations percolating in people's minds. We are initiating a webcast, the K12 Online Echo, which will be in the style of the Fireside Chats. Each webcast, held at EdtechTalk Studio will feature one presentation from the conference which will be streamed with the presenter available to answer questions. Participants can ask questions in the chat; a moderator will interview the presenter. Each show will last one hour and will be held two Wednesdays a month at 12:30 am GMT (Tuesdays at 7:30 EST).

Susan van Gelder will be contacting some of you to see if you would be available to be on the Echo. Unfortunately, we will not be able to air all the presentations, but will try to feature a representative sampling to target beginners, the technologically comfortable, administrators, teachers of students of different levels... We will, however, always encourage our audience to go to the archives to explore the presentations they many not have heard yet and to find colleagues with whom to share them.
