K-12 Online Learning/Mobile Learning And CSSE 2011

The annual Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences, which includes the annual conference for the Canadian Society for the Study of Education, is coming up in a few days.  Based on a search of the 17 February 2011 version of the program (using terms such as cyber, distance, Internet, online, virtual, web), I was only able to find a single K-12 online learning presentation.

I suspect that I am somewhere over the Pacific now, as I am traveling for 30+ hours today, but it is Thursday all day long, so I won’t be in attendance. But if there is anyone going who would like to report in on these sessions, I would be happy to post guest blog entries with your comments or you can always just leave a message below if your comments are briefer in nature.
