I told you there were a few... Okay, so most of them came from Ray and the guys over at Online Learning Update, but at least we have some frequent content this week.

Starting in the next day or so I'll begin to preview the 2007 Virtual School Symposium which is happening next week in Louisville, KY. So, I'll be blogging about that from Sunday to Tuesday while I am there (and hopefully for a few days after that). And I know I say this everytime, but this time I promise to come back with at least one podcast (hopefully more).

Also, next Wednesday is the first meeting of the K-12 Online Learning Research group that I have established with some of the doctoral students here are Wayne State. So hopefully I'll be able to get them involved in some of the discussions here. Another project that I am hoping to get them involved with is the creation of a virtual school wiki. Not sure what we'd have for content yet, but I have some ideas and I may put up a post here in the next week or so to get some ideas from you.

Until next time...
