I am on sabbatical for the 2008-2009 school year. This is my blog documenting what I've learned over the year. I hope that this site will serve as a resource for me as well as others. It is also meant to help be a template for my sabbatical report timeline.
Over the summer I started working on my sabbatical plan. Here is a brief summary of the activities/outcomes acheived prior to September 2008:
1) Attended D2L National Convention, July 21-24 in Memphis Tennessee. I was able to acquire a long list of online resources that I need to sort through and explore over my sabbatical. I was also able to network and meet other MNSCU d2l'ers who will be great resources for me as I try and incorporate more IT into both my online and F2F classes.
2) Started facebook account for school networking. (Had a myspace account started as well, but after research decided to put more efforts into facebook as that seems to be used more by our college demographics--both students and instructors)
3) Came in for 2 speech adjunct interviews (Monday, July 28 and Thursday, July 31)
4) Mentored 2 new speech adjunct. Met one to one and corresponded via email to answer questions on syllabus, IP textbook choices, campus information, and D2L. Introduced them to some other key people on campus and walked with them to help get them resources (computer access, figure out phone number, tech id issues, etc.)
5) Attended both duty days, first day with adjuncts and to be available for their further questions on the second day.
6) Requseted shells for Interpersonal Communication and Intercultural Communication so that I can get information added so everything is "course ready" for implementation in D2L
7) Learned how to add a gadget to a widget on homepage of D2L
8) First Day of School I started blog "Reality Shows to Showing Reality"
9) Started this blog to record my sabbatical plan progress.
