Keynote presenters for K12 Online 2007 have been announced. Check out full details here.

This year’s conference is scheduled to be held over two weeks, October 15-19 and October 22-26 of 2007, and will include a preconference keynote during the week of October 8. This year’s conference theme is “Playing with Boundaries.”

Last year was just fantastic, and many of the presentations have become key resources on Web 2.0 and Learning 2.0!

Join these educators at the conference by sharing your take on “playing with boundaries” in the use of Web 2.0 tools in classrooms and professional practice! It’s time to submit your proposal. The deadline is June 18, only days away!

For your convenience, you can find the initial call for proposals here and the link to the proposals submission form is here.

Isn’t 42 the answer to everything?

The Answer to The Ultimate Question Of Life, the Universe and Everything is a theoretical solution in Douglas Adams‘ book series The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. The “Answer” is simply “42“. In the story, the Answer is produced using the hypercomputer Deep Thought.

OK, so I have to own up that this crazy book has always been on my bookshelf of favourites. Nuts!

Naturally I had to test out mind42.com! Not sure if the developers know about Douglas Adams, as they say the name stands FOR TWO, which is the minimum required number of people to do something together.

Is mind42.com the ultimate mindmapping solution to manage all your ideas? Well, it just might be. You can collaborate, or manage revisions. Link images or URLs. Make notes or create a ‘to-do-list’. Amazingly, it sports a Wikipedia API – so you can search wikipedia, and attach an article. Would like it to have more flexibility with shapes and lines – but overall pretty interesting.
