Teacher Leadership Conference
Drumlins ~ May 2012
We were honored to present at the 2012 Teacher Leadership Conference last week. We set the following goals for ourselves:
1. 100% Engagement of audience
2. 100% Understanding of the difference b/t a website and an ePortfolio
3. 100% Access to resources that will help you get started
4. 75% Implementation of at least one component of an ePortfolio
We once again learned that you should always bring your own technology when you present. Luckily we did! We needed it. Phew!
We received the most interesting feedback just after the presentation. One participant shared with us how unpolished our presentation appeared. Though not quite how to interpret such comment, we recalled this audience member being focused through the entire session. We decided to take this commentary as a compliment! We pride ourselves on our lack of "polish". We are real people, real teachers, and we never want to appear stiff or bored with our content. We enjoy working together, love what we do, and have a passion for sharing it with anyone who will listen. So, to the gentleman in the audience, thank you! And to the woman in the back row, yes! We do have a ton of fun working together! We are indeed unpolished on purpose!
While it was pretty easy to look around and see that we met our first three goals, our fourth goal is a bit more difficult to assess. With that said, we hope that you will reply to this post by clicking on the "comments" link below to let us know what you thought of our workshop, and what you have implemented since participating. Better yet, share your ePortfolio link with us. You can also email us at: nextgennow@nextgennowpd.com
