National Research Center on Rural Education Support: Supporting Rural Schools and Communities Research Conference
I'll post another entry about this event as the time grows closer, and of course I'll be blogging about it while I am there - both at Virtual High School Meanderings for the K-12 online learning entries and here for the other entries - but I wanted to get the information out now in case there were those who may want to attend (and not just follow along via these two blogs).The National Research Center on Rural Education Support is hosting the Supporting Rural Schools and Communities Research Conference from 05-06 November 2009 at the Carolina Inn, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Among other presentations on the program, are two sessions related to K-12 online learning.
