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

Dear ED894 Students,
It was a pleasure having all of you as students for the ED894 SOE Conference course. I'm glad that you've learned a great deal regarding assessment, accountability, online learning (i.e. blogging), and so much more!
Congratulations on being official educational bloggers! I applaud you for seeking professional development to empower your students. I encourage you to share the knowledge that you've gained with your fellow colleagues.
On another note, the SOE Conference Chair, Dr. Ferrer, said that she will keep me posted regarding your conference certificates. You may also follow up with her at lourdesferrer@yahoo.com.
If you have diligently kept up with all the course requirements on the specified due dates, you will certainly pass the course with a good grade! I considered those who took the time to communicate with me in a timely manner regarding unforeseen circumstances. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I wish you the very best, and kudos to all of you!
Best regards,
Dr. Rivera
