How do I participate in the conference? Where do I 'go'? |
|
|
|
|
In 2007, we are encouraging all presenters to provide a “podcastable” version of their presentation to be included in the conference podcast web feeds. Artifacts from past presentations have been presented using a variety of sites including: YouTube, TeacherTube, Animoto, SlideShare, Google Video, Viddler, RockYou.

I hear there will be “live” sessions. How will that work? |
| |
|
|
We will have weekly live Elluminate sessions so that conference participants can interact and ask questions of the Keynote speakers and other presenters. A link will be posted to the blog that will give you access to the weekly Elluminate sessions. If you are unable to attend the Elluminate chats, we will make an archive of the event available.

Other than the Elluminate chats all of the sessions will be pre-recorded for you to watch/listen to at your convenience. The Elluminate session times will all be published on the conference blog well in advance of each event. Watch the blog for more details. Instructions will be posted on the main conference EVENTS page.
