2nd K-12 Conference....Jen Wagner from Dec 2009 - If You Host It, They Will Come....starting online projects

This conference was very interesting and I highly recommend it to any students in this class who are actual teachers now with their own classroom. Jen Wagner gives great advice on project planning, where ideas come from...and laying out a project starting from topic, to reason/goals, objectives, timeline, collaboration, collecting results, review and thanks. She lists many online locations to start the project....ones I've never heard of, and will hopefully explore someday when I become a teacher! Places like Flicker, Skype Voice Thread. And online ways to promote, like Twitter, Nings, etc. She recommends a site called Global Schoolhouse to register your project so others can find it. And also shows you how to use Google Forms to set up questions and later collect the data. Wow, very useful from start to finish. She ends with example projects currently being done by other teachers. Check it out!
