I'm playing catch up this week. I was at a Jobs for the Future conference in Miami most of the week.
I have continued to participate with the communities I joined for the assignment and I am really enjoying it. I have become more actively engaged in the one I merely observed.
I have spent a lot of time considering the produsage assignment. I think I have landed on a concept and will spend today and tomorrow building it. I want it to be something that lives beyond this class so I decided to use Web 2.0 to help formulate a formative assessment of a new initiative to encourage adults to complete their degrees. I have the basics in mind but I really want to jazz it up --- that will be my challenge.
I'm happy to report that I am following USDOE and The Chronicle on Twitter. I love the snipets.
While I hate to admit it, I have been lurking on classmate's blogs and checked the class wiki a couple of times this week.
I'd be interested to hear more about the conference...
ReplyDeleteConference: The Gates Foundation and Jobs for the Future have funded several states in their Developmental Education Initiative. Florida is one of the states. We are planning to modularize the developmental education curriculum by piloting programs at various colleges.
ReplyDeleteOr, did you want to know about the fun stuff - Trump International Hotel? It was AWESOME! The beach was gorgeous and my room overlooked the water and fabulous pool.
