This new issue of Online Learning came across my electronic desk. I don’t think there are any items specifically focused on K-12 – but in skimming through several of the abstracts there are K-12 tidbits throughout.

Hi Michael, Two weeks ago, the OLC announced 500+ sessions in the 2022 Accelerate program. So much goes into making this kind of staggering announcement.
Behind the scenes, our team of reviewers poured through thousands (!!!) of submissions to curate the best in professional development and innovation for online and blended learning. OLC staff have been working with speakers and partners daily to share their content, keeping the community updated.
So when I say there is something for everyone at Accelerate, I mean it. To truly walk the walk of our field, the conference is a hybrid experience – blending the best of togetherness at Disney and in Zoom.
Now approaching three years into the global pandemic, this togetherness is more important than ever. Your presence – and your voice – is essential. Please join me at Accelerate as we define the next three years and decades together based on our collective lessons learned.
This year’s conference is also home to our Blended Learning Symposium and Leadership Network Symposium for blended learning professionals and senior leaders, respectively.
Whatever your passion in the online learning field, there’s a space for you at 2022 Accelerate.
I hope to see you there! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Best,
Jennifer Mathes
CEO, Online Learning Consortium
