K-12 Online Learning and SITE 2013

The annual Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education (SITE) International Conference begins in a couple of weeks.  And since SITE is the only academic organization with a Virtual Schooling SIG, I thought I should search the online the online schedule for sessions related to virtual schooling.

Most of these sessions are ones listed by the Virtual Schooling SIG, but I also searched the usual K-12 online learning faculty and keywords to generate the following list of sessions focused on K-12 online learning. If you think I have missed any relevant presentations, please advise…

Also note that for those of us interested in K-12 online learning, our conference begins with the Virtual Schooling SIG Business Meeting  at 7:30am-8:30am on Tuesday, 26 March.
