[ProfessionalDevelopment 2113] To COABE Conference Attendees - from a friend who could not get permission to attendLobaccaro Gina (DOC) Gina.Lobaccaro at state.de.usTue Apr 29 10:53:07 EDT 2008
Hello, I am writing this particularly to those of you who are attending the COABE conference - to all of you but in particular to my friends who work on the ALE Wiki. I am a correctional educator in Delaware, and I work with William Muth on the Correctional Education page of the Wiki. I was able to meet for dinner last year in Philly with six other Wikiteers, and I had hoped to attend the conference this year. I did not get permission to attend this year's conference. I am asking that as you take part in the conference, and while the sessions are fresh in your mind and memory, that you will respond to this posting AND go to my blog at http://daacepd.blogspot.com/ and leave 1-2 comments on any/all of the postings. This blog is a project for my current course - toward my doctorate in Educational Technology, but it is also my heartfelt attempt to engage Delaware adult educators into a meaningful conversation about the use of Internet enabled collaborative tools for our professional development. Here are my questions: 1. How will you use technology to expand upon what you learn at the conference? 2. Will you do any formal or informal "follow-through" activities online related to the sessions you attended? 3. Can you give me advice on how to encourage and engage my Delaware colleagues into a serious online discussion regarding using the Internet for professional development? 4. What have been your most positive experiences using online forums for professional development? 5. What do you believe to be the greatest obstacles toward building a stronger practice of online (adult education) professional development? 6. Any other comments? Thank you so much for taking time from the conference to send me some feedback.
