October 22, 2010 - Full attendance at the School of Education Assessment and Accountability Conference
Listen to the lectures of keynote speakers and presenters at the conference.
Brief reflections of the sessions attended need to be submitted.
Dear ED894 Students,
It was a pleasure meeting all of you tonight. As you engage in our online sessions, try to remain positive in your entries. The focus should be on the knowledge or insight you've gained from the sessions. If, for some reason, you did not gain much from the workshop, then try to focus on what you did appreciate. Certainly, I encourage you to share what you experienced, but don’t let your postings exclusively focus on negativity. Keep in mind that the online collaboration is meant to support a positive online forum. Naturally, negative postings will not allow us to share a positive learning experience.
Additionally, when you post your entries for the sessions, you can generalize it in our class blog. The individual detailed descriptions can be reserved for your write-up submission that must be submitted via e-mail.
Enjoy the rest of the conference, and I look forward to our future sessions, both online and face to face! Have a good night!
Best regards,
Dr. Rivera
