Gauisus feriae! (Happy holidays!)

 

Another Pennsylvanian here (an associate of Destiny Long, Michael
Westover and Joy Zamierowski, who have already responded to this email).

 

I would also like to work on this project. I am a adult educator, but I
am also co-facilitator of the Adult ESL teachers' Network of NW PA and
also co-director of the ESL Special Interest Group of the Pa.
Association of Adult Continuing Education (PAACE). The primary goal of
both these organizations is PD, and since the NW section of PA is rather
rural, and the state is rather wide, alternative forms of PD would be
ideal. In these positions, I have the opportunity to work in
pre-existing small- and large-group networks.

I also am interested in the workgroup. Beyond the fact that I teach
onlne, I think that PD online would be a great opportunity for our
faculty who otherwiise would resist coming to f2f workshops.

	How are we going to get our workgroup started? I am ready to
start as soon as possible. Should we start with objectives? I would also
like to share techniques that can be used online. Let me know what the
first step is.

	 

	I am really interested in brainstorming and sharing with the
group.

		Good afternoon,

		 

		I have been watching the e mails about forming an online
work group and wanted to volunteer to join.  I work as part of the
Pennsylvania Professional Development System.  My supervisor and I
attended the COABE pre-conference/conference in Philadelphia a couple of
years ago and had the opportunity to meet many of the individuals that
regularly contribute to this list. The information shared during the
conference was excellent.

		 

		I am currently the Assistant Coordinator of the
Northwest Professional Development Center, one of seven professional
development centers in Pennsylvania.  We use some types of online
professional development with teachers in the Northwest region of
Pennsylvania, along with a variety of other venues.  We are extremely
interested in moving forward with additional online opportunities.  I am
also familiar with the online learning tool, Skills Tutor, used by
several students in our agency.

		 

		I believe that I would learn a lot by having the
opportunity to work with others in this proposed work group. Our
professional development center definitely wants to move forward by
incorporating various technologies in future professional development
opportunities.  I believe that being a member of this work group would
be very helpful.
