1.  Did you benefit from this discussion? If so, then in what ways?
 Absolutely!  I learned so much about the variety of ways online materials
can be presented (podcasting, more about Moodle, more about list serves) and
how these have been integrated into PD.

2. What did you learn from the discussion, or what is at least one thing
that you took away from the discussion? (It could be a recommendation, an
idea or aspect of online/blended PD you hope to pursue, a resource you will
explore, etc.)  In looking at Jackie's facilitation, I would like to emulate
her a bit more in leading my students through online discussions.  I really
appreciated her method for brining out the quieter participants (a.k.a.
"lurkers" and "perchers") by intertwining the idea with self assessment.


3.  What did you find valuable about either what was discussed, or the
design/process by which it took place?
The email digests worked for me.  I found them easy to follow and to access.


4. What did you like about the discussion (organization, process, format,
etc) and what would you _change_ for next time? (consider aspects like (but
not limited to) the week 1 discussion primer, the availability of
synchronous chat office hours, Pod cast/online video archive, use of the
wiki, facilitation, etc.) I like the idea of synchronous chat office hours.
The interface would be simple and effective.  I am not a big fan of online
video or voice archives as a replacement for textual information, but I can
see how it might be a useful augmentation.


5. If you attended the AALPD PreConference at COABE, was this a useful
follow up to the PreConference? If so, then in what ways? If not, what
suggestions do you have to improve the follow up for future PreConferences?
N/A

Thank you so much for facilitating this, Jackie, and thank you everyone for
sharing your knowledge and experience!
