This means we will not have any “live events,” but all presentations will be posted online for participants to view and comment on days and at times of their choosing. As in the past, all conference presentations will be available for online viewing as well as offline/mobile viewing via </span><a href="http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=646"><span style="font-family: inherit;">our iTunesU channel</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">Our 2011 conference will start on Monday, November 21, 2011 with an inspiring pre-conference keynote by </span><a href="http://twitter.com/AngelaMaiers"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Angela Maiers</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">.
