Anyone promoting the need to decrease the distance between "authority" and "learner" is really 3.0! That is the future, a kind of blended situation where self learning happens alongside the teacher, not infront of the teacher. Technology really makes this a possibility and so too should prof. development embrace this student/teacher meld. Great pdf, very professional and succinct. Thanks, David Sylvia,

I "stuck my neck" out there when I put a proposal in for the K12 Online Conference. I was cautioned. I was warned not to get my hopes up. Someone might have even said that famous people are the only ones who get picked. Well, I'm not famous, and I was selected. So, I too encourage everyone who has a solid and sound teaching practice to put a conference proposal out. Solid educational practice is recognized! Sylvia, You are absolutely right.

Your post is an added reason to submit proposal.
