That's challenging to say the least. I applaud anyone who tackles such a task." “What makes a Great Online Presentation?” is really interesting topic.I am following up this para “…Remember these are not live sessions but rather presentations in a variety of formats intended to be used in a variety of ways by a variety of users.

"<em>Only</em>" 20 minutes might easily take a presenter hours and hours to create. (Have you ever looked for a particular image you had in mind for hours? :) As you and Mathew point out there is not only the content to consider but also the presentation style. While viewers might be focusing on content, the design and the delivery can be equally important. Once you become a presentation producer (no just a consumer), you probably never look at another presentation the same way. How was it put together? What programs were used? Active/passive voice? Images, audio, video? Transitions? Audio level? Visuals? Examples? Creative Commons? Photoshop?Script?Branding? Background music? Thank you for including my presentation. :) I think it is important to mention to presentation viewers how MUCH goes into preparing an online presentation.

And I agree, Mark Wagner's presentation was very well done too.   Conversational not a speech. And also, Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano's, this year was wonderful and I learned a great deal.  On a silly side note though -- I really WANT to know how she did the world map....my google earth does NOT look like that.....or does it, and I don't know. To add to your list:  I truly enjoyed "A Peek for a Week" by Rachel Boyd -- http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=553 -- and "Little Kids - Big Possibilities" by Kelly Hines -- http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=440 -- What I continue to hope -- in future K12 OC -- is to continually see some sessions that just make us go "WOW, I wish I could do that" but also appreciate the fact that if K12 OC does nothing else -- it salutes our differences in teaching styles and does not rubber stamp any as "THIS IS THE WAY TO DO IT RIGHT".  Just as in a regular school -- we all have different teaching styles and if we try to be someone else, we might be limiting our own influence. However, on the other hand, grins, if I had seen Silvia's or Joyce's (http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=443) or Chris Betcher's (http://k12onlineconference.org/?p=463) first -- I might have done my own a bit differently.   Ahhh, well, there will always be next year..... Nice post, Dean --- now off to watch some I have not seen yet because of your recommendation.

David Warlick's conversation in the first K12OC still amazes me because he took us where we had not gone before — it was not a talking head….it was a conversation.  And in a way, he set the bar for the next time.
