Why an Online Conference?
The intense summer conference schedule means that a great deal of meeting time must be squeezed into a few short weeks and a handful of conference locales. We frequently have to lament that our conference presenters could only be in one place at one time . . .
. . . until now, that is! Today’s Internet makes it possible to overcome at least some of the limitations of space and time, and it makes it possible to offer an Essential Class Four Conference – online! Following the successful introduction of online Waldorf workshops through our recent Halftime Webinars, we are ready to expand and present the first-ever Waldorf online teachers’ conference.
Here is how it will work:
Once you have chosen the 10-day period convenient to you, you will receive links to 20 lectures and presentations by Eugene Schwartz (click here to see the lecture/presentation topics). Most of these will be links to audio files of 60 – 75 minute lectures. Several of the links will lead to videos in which fourth grade student work will be illuminated by commentary on the Class Four curriculum. All of the lecture/presentations will be available online during your ten-day participation period from December 26 - January 31. This means that participants can listen to the content whenever they wish, and as often as they wish, for ten days. (How often have you taken notes as rapidly as possible at a lecture and wished in vain that you could hear it again?)
And yes, there will be handouts. PDFs of relevant Class Four resource material will be available for you to download during the conference weeks.
“But I’m not good with computers!”
Don’t worry! The conference “interface” is completely user-friendly! The nearly 200 participants in our online Halftime Webinars in January, 2010 and the teachers who took part in the Northern Hemisphere 2011 Grades Four and Five Online Conferences experienced very few difficulties, and most were resolved in a few minutes. All you need is broadband access to the Internet. We recommend Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari as the most reliable Web browsers for this conference.
Your Fee - and Your Savings
The fee for the conference week is $200.00. That is all that you pay. Since you are participating from your home or school, there are no travel expenses, no accommodations expenses, no dining expenses. Many of you would have to considerably more than this amount to attend a Grade Four conference in your country. In these difficult economic times, such savings can make a significant difference. And no other Steiner conference will allow you to leave such a small carbon footprint.
We hope that you will join us!
