Good day or evening, everyone!

 

Thanks to those who have been sharing information about the sessions
they are presenting at COABE. This List actually provides us several
opportunities to use the online environment to both prepare for and to
extend the COABE learning experience. 

 

I have a few suggestions and I welcome your thoughts this week. We have
done variations of this in the past -- I hope that this tradition to use
the PD List and COABE for sharing and creating blended PD will continue
to grow.

 

This week, tell us a little about yourself and your answers to one (or
more) of the questions below:

 

For those presenting at COABE:

Tell us about your session(s). Why might others attend your session?
What might participants look forward to learning or exploring?

 

For those attending COABE:

What are you looking forward to learning at COABE? What are your goals
for attending COABE and what do you plan to do to achieve them? (Here is
the session agenda for easy reference:
http://www.coabeconference.org/schedule.html )

 

For those who are not going:

What are the issues you are confronted with in your practice that you
would like to hear more about in general? (This way, if someone attends
or presents a session on your topic of interest they might share a
report of the session with the PD List.)

 

After COABE I encourage us to share with each other what stood out about
the conference, what was gained from it, and your notes from a session
of your choice. 

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Best, Jackie
