DLA 2009 Part II

So did I mention that DLA 2009 is at St. Simon's Island this year. Still soaking in the rays when I can in between sessions and breathing the great salt air.

Second round of sessions include...(And here we go again with bullets, did I mention I can't stand bullets!)

• Conflicting Conceptions of Curriculum: How Technology is Used with Different Curriculum Conceptions - This session was canceled becasue the presenter was stuck in Canada. His flight was canceled. That was a bummer, last year the same group presented and brought wonderful Canadian Maple Cookies (I was salivating all night long hoping to get a cookie first thing in the morning!)
• So I ended up at this session - Using Television in Distance Learning, which turned out to be very interesting and I got some great take aways (The presenter was from New Zealand)
• The next session didn't have a lot to offer that I haven't learned in the past so I passsed on it to network and tour vendor booths
• Multiple Learning Styles, Single Course
• Please Stand By: Using Announcements in Online Courses - Canceled Can I just tell you how bummed I was that this one was canceled. I so wanted to learn more about this since I am trying to encourage this with some of my clients. We later found out that it was canceled because the Presenters tires on her car were slashed.
• Understanding and Charting Online Content - Fabulous!
• Annenberg Media: Tools to Enhance Teaching and Learning - Vendor Presentation

I have one last round of sessions and then will compile all of my notes and summarize osme of the highlights by weeks end.
