November 5, 2010

I am amazed at the resources readily shared and made available to members. It can be quite overwhelming with the papers, ebooks, and web links. This is one of the most active listserves to which I belong.

I belong to several ISTE special interest groups. The Innovative Learning group asked for volunteers to review proposals for the 2011 conference. I volunteered and was selected. I had to read through five proposals and evaluate them based on the rubric provided. It took me two days to complete this online process. Several of the proposals sounded good but ISTE standards were not connected to them or the projects sounded like they were just starting. I wish I could attend this conference but I am restricted to one  out-of-state conference per year. I plan to participate with the listserves more frequently and would like to attend the free webinars provided through ISTE and the networks. Teachers can find high quality professional development from their professional organizations through listserves, webinars, and courses any time of the year and online!
