We've talked about web conferences, although the feedback I get is that they need to be of a shorter duration. I think the Sacramento County Office of Ed holds web trainings with some success.

I understand your point completely. There have to be enough attendees to make it viable. I'll be promoting this network when I get back to school. Unfortuately, the COE classes here are few and far between. I'll keep going to the classes and conferences I can. Any option of setting it (or part of it) up as an web conference?

Hard to keep local and inexpensive if only a few folks would attend. I'm hoping that this network is showing an increased interest and belief in the value of collaborative technologies, which then might generate enough interest to do exactly what you suggest. Do you have a county office of ed offering classes?

I'm a little late on this conversation, but I LOVE the idea. I am the only one at my site (and one of the very few) in my district (San Marcos, CA) who attends ed tech conferences. For my colleagues, there are a couple of key issues. #1= They are afraid it will be over their heads and only "techies" will benefit. There are many teachers around me who would love to add more tech into to student learning, but don't know where to begin. It might be helpful to separate into specific groups. 1 group…

There are many teachers around me who would love to add more tech into to student learning, but don't know where to begin. It might be helpful to separate into specific groups. 1 group could be for absolute beginners who want to know where an effective place to start would be (blog? wiki?).--something that connects easily to what they already understand. Other goups could move into podcasting, digital storytelling, etc, etc. etc. The other issue #2= Cost! It has to be local and inexpensive. Deanna -

You might also check into the Nebraska Writing Project at UNL. They utilize technology in the writing process and are experimenting with podcasting and PhotoStories/Moviemaker projects. This summer's facilitator is Cathie English.

Skip's comment about follow-up and support got me to thinking about how I could possibly contribute to this great project - I'm in a rural area, and not affiliated with any of the local organizations here since I teach for a school in a different state.<br />

<br />
So....... in addition to presenters, if you want to have "follow-up coaches" (or something like that), I've be glad to take on several conference participants to connect with online afterwards to help and encourage them as they integrate the tools they are learning about at the conference into their teaching, etc. Maybe we could create some kind of matchmaking board where people could volunteer as coaches for specific tools or types of projects, and conference participants could "grab" somebody to help them along...

You look like me in SL, maybe we are related? SL, meg writer, rl meg ormiston!<br />
I just finished tech camp and 25 face to face was a LOT to manage with one instructor. I think we need to think about teams that could work together to help manage the information flow. If I had team taught the class it would have been easier to meet everyone's needs.<br />
They did produce some amazing artifacts! <a href="http://techcamp.ning.com/">http://techcamp.ning.com/</a>

I agree, the equipment is a big draw! I love the flickr and digital camera idea, we used you tube extensively during my tech camp the last two weeks!
