Dear Colleagues,

I invite you to join Daphne Greenberg (Poverty, Race, Women and Literacy
List Moderator), Marie Cora (Assessment List Moderator), and I for an
interactive double-session workshop:

 

"Using the National Institute for Literacy's Discussion Lists as
Professional Development"

 

Tuesday, March 27

Salon 3

1:45 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

4:15 p.m. - 5:30 p.m.

 

Last year, we led a single-session at COABE about national discussion
lists. What we learned from that session is that participants wanted to
know:

 

*	How can I help my teachers use discussion lists for professional
development?
*	How can I get exposure and interaction via national listservs
like I do with my state listserv?
*	How might we develop a PD management system that includes using
national discussion lists as teacher PD?
*	How might one measure time-on-task for participation in online
discussions?
*	What other ways can teachers use NIFL lists for PD? (archives,
search engine for research, etc.)
*	How might teachers show evidence as to what they learned from
the discussion?
*	What do others do in managing the volumes of email?

 

We've taken these questions to heart, so we've prepared some materials
that we hope you find useful.

 

Computer Lab Double Session

 

Part I will teach you how to most effectively interface with the
technology so that you learn about and feel more comfortable with using
all of the features available to you.

 

Part II focuses on how you can use the Lists as professional
development. We will share tools and strategies specifically for NIFL
Lists that can help you develop and carry out your own PD plan - for
yourself, or for staff.

 

It would be great to connect in-person, so please join us to explore
these issues or stop by and say hi!

 

- Jackie Taylor
