Agenda
Note - to make bulleted lists use various levels of * (*, **, ***)
Questions:
- Are we creating a model Bb course that will contain our wiki/blog and showcase some good techniques?
- Seems like we should have an "Intro and tips on how to start your course" for Bb not just for eLive sessions and we could model before the workshop begins
- Can we get more depth into those multiple eLive sessions over the 4 days?
- I would like to see some discussion on grading things like blogs/wikis, merits, disadvantages etc. Is it necessary? Nice roundtable perhaps. From Carol: I like the idea of roundtables to break up the regular seminar-style format. Since these are veterans, we should provide time for them to share what's working and what's not working.
- If we're asking them to complete an assessment of their course before we begin, are we going to have time to discuss the assessments?

Items to be on the agenda
Note - For our Fairbanks iTeach this year (which will be the week immediately prior to this) we're trying to establish a Ning community. We can encourage the iTeach-2 participants to join the same community and—hopefully—start some interaction.
Homework: Assessment of course - complete self-evaluation checklist for course

- Carol : Planning sheet
- Chris: Information Fluency
- Personal Learning Environments
- Focus on how you're creating a network for yourself, not just for your students
- Focus on the importance of being a learner, not just a teacher
- Workflow and productivity
- Last year, we had a session where each instructional designer took about 10 minutes to demonstrate our own PLE. We had very good response from this session! It helped to reinforce the idea that we don't use ALL of the tools...we select what works for us and incorporate it into our daily lives. Personal choices and enhanced workflows based on personal goals. It also gives a good demonstration of how various tools work together rather than thinking of each tool as a stand-alone item.

Came across this excellent slideshare: http://www.slideshare.net/rachelboyd/eating-the-elephant-that-is-ict-and-eating-it-one-bite-a-time
Have Classroom Assessment Techniques been overdone at your campus? It's an old book, but I find several of the ideas really useful.
I've also been experimenting in my own classes with pre-grading sheets. In conjunction with rubrics, they've saved me lots of time and further clarified my expectations for students.
