This is a free event, with a focus on inclusion and participation. All sessions will be publicly available to attend through the online Blackboard Collaborate platform, and every session will be recorded and made available immediately following the conference.

Steve, What is involved with sponsoring a virtual conference such as the Social Learning Summit? Do you have a page that explains sponsorship levels and requirements? If we wanted to contact organizations to invite them to become a sponsor is there something we can share with them to provide details about how to become a sponsor?

Well, Chris--Discovery Ed sponsored the one last year, and they chose to do something else this year.  I kind of depend on having a sponsor for each event, and was disappointed that it didn't happen!  If you've got any ideas, let me know!

Are there plans for a Social Learning Summit in 2014?

Thanks

@Sean--there is no ability to embed.  You'll have to just use the link.  Sorry!

Comment by Sean Thompson on April 21, 2012 at 10:11pm

How can I embed the code from my recorded presentation into the website I made to accompany it?

Comment by Steve Hargadon on April 21, 2012 at 4:58pm

The recordings are here:  http://www.classroom20.com/page/2012-recordings. You can download the slides in any session just by opening the session recording, then go to File > Save > Whiteboard.  Glad you had fun!

thank you for an amazing experience

Very well done. I've attended several DEN functions, both on line and in person. I have to say I have rarely been disappointed in having spent the time and have always come away with something I could use. One question: I looked and didn't see a link to presentation slides. Will they be accessible in the same place as the recordings? Thanks, again, for providing professional development that makes a difference.

Comment by Tia Wulansari on April 21, 2012 at 1:44pm

How do I access the previous presentations? And how long are they available for participants? Thanks! This summit was awesome! 

Comment by Matt Jones on April 21, 2012 at 1:13pm

How do I access the recordings of the sessions?

Comment by Vicki Mast on April 21, 2012 at 1:08pm

The sessions were very well done and I now have tons of resources and reading to do . . . . oh well, sleep is so overrated! Thanks for all the hard work everyone. It was great!

Hallo!!! This is my first social learning summit.

Comment by Cheryl Caruthers on April 20, 2012 at 12:12pm

Can you print out certificates of any kind? I am 1 hour short on inservice hours and thought I could kill two birds with one stone.

Comment by Chad Lehman on April 14, 2012 at 6:21am
Registration isn't required, but we encourage it to help us find out how many people are participating. You can register for free at https://2012sls.eventbrite.com/

Where do I find the link for see the times for the training on Blackboard?

Comment by Steve Hargadon on April 10, 2012 at 1:20pm

@sue:  there is no registration, all the sessions will be open and the links to them will be posted on the site before the conference starts.  Best to give out the http://www.sociallearningsummit.com address.  Thanks!

Comment by Sue A. Rea on April 10, 2012 at 1:00pm

I want to advertise this to the teachers here in my district.   What is the registration URL? 

Comment by Amy Leggett Brake on April 10, 2012 at 6:49am

Good morning from the beautiful campus at North Carolina Wesleyan College.  My profile picture was taken in our learning commons where I have a view of both the sky and the trees through our glassed front commons.  I serve as reference and instruction librarian, am in charge of our QEP task force (those of you who are SACS accredited may be familiar with this) and also have a Master of Fine Arts degree.

Comment by Ileana Guevara Quiros on April 9, 2012 at 11:30pm

I will like o be present to hear the presentations.
