If you’ve never experienced an online conference, why not get your feet wet at the five-day “2012 Learning 2.0 Virtual Conference,” which will run from August 20th to the 24th. The conference is billed as “a unique chance to participate in a global conversation on rethinking teaching and learning in the age of the Internet.” The event is conducted with Blackboard Collaborate, so you can learn firsthand about some online collaborative tools, while you participate. This is especially recommended for present–or future–teachers, but anyone may join. Best of all, the conference is completely free.
