Have you got the news: Just released-- 2010 CCCOnline Faculty Conference Constructing Quality: Expand your Toolbox now open for registration!
No....I haven't been asked to post an advertisement about the conference, but I wanted to pass on my opinion. Every year that I have attended the fall conference, I have taken away valuable insights on instruction, on the platform we were using and on the various duties we have to perform (grading, leading discussions, using portfolios, etc). As I am to post ideas of "what works for me," I would have to report that attending the fall conference is in the "top ten"! This year, I am looking forward to exploring more of D2L (rubrics and grading) and learning more about exciting ways we can use different web-based technologies to communicate with our students.
What have you learned at the conference in the past? What are you looking forward to this year?

Dionne,
ReplyDeleteI am also looking forward to the conference. I always take away some interesting and useful things from the meetings, but I think what I like the most is seeing the faces of other instructors and administrators. This is also the only time we meet among members of the Department, and I enjoy seeing everyone.
I will miss the conference this year, but when I attended last year it was great to meet our fellow instructors and administrators.
ReplyDeleteIt is hard for me to attend as I live an 8 hour drive away from the conference.
Enjoy.
P.S. It is my 20th wedding anniversary around conference time. We will be hiking at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Can't wait for that!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Meeting with others on this day and seeing how they deal with situations has helped me to grow as an instructor: 1) I am not alone. 2) There are "things" I have not tried yet (with students, with the material, with the system) that are worth hearing about...and hearing about the glitches that I may encounter. 3) I love hearing about the possibilities of the future and how CCCOnline has led the way and will continue to do so! and 4) The food and goodie bags are much appreciated as well :)
ReplyDeleteMary: Congratulations! What a great way to enjoy the day together! What a great way to refresh and regenerate! Be careful and take plenty of pictures.
