My plans are to finish up my current degree program and then to use those tools to be a better instructor/designer #iolchat

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:12 PM EST

Still moving along..on the 15.5 week semester this time...so no breaks... #iolchat

A1: #IOLchat -PD in 2017 includes taking a Master's of Ed course on integrating technology and pedagogy. Interesting insights!

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:14 PM EST

Fantastic! Are you teaching online now? or planning to perhaps? #iolchat

In reply to @LLHagarty

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:15 PM EST

Yes yes...I have reached a whole new level of burnout =( #Iolchat

Like this idea...theory + application = win win! #iolchat

In reply to @LLHagarty

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:16 PM EST

A sure sign you are reaching the end. ;) The struggle is real. #iolchat

In reply to @jshamsy

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:16 PM EST

It is...and motivation/"in the zone" moments are few and far between =( #iolchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

LLHagarty Feb 22 @ 12:17 PM EST

Thanks. #IOLchat - teaching on campus now but looking for ways to engage students using digital tech.

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:17 PM EST

I think esp. important with edtech..so easy to get caught up in "cool apps"..need some theory/research to focus #iolchat

In reply to @LLHagarty

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:18 PM EST

Sounds like a great incentive for your class. We talk a lot about student engagement, and tech (devices, etc.) here. #iolchat

In reply to @LLHagarty

LLHagarty Feb 22 @ 12:19 PM EST

#IOLchat - agree re: blend of theory and practice! Just looked at digital citizenship this week: do you explicitly teach it?

In reply to @jshamsy

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:21 PM EST

Q2) What are your primary goal(s) for faculty development participation? Skills, knowledge, improved courses, career move…? #iolchat

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:22 PM EST

I do not..however, i think when teaching online you have to incorporate a little bit of these topics...they are relevant #iolchat

In reply to @LLHagarty

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:22 PM EST

Integrate some of these topics into your design/instructional strategy #iolchat

In reply to @LLHagarty

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:23 PM EST

A2) A little bit of everything...as an adjunct you always have to think about next step/improving skills/doing a good job #iolchat

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:23 PM EST

A2) I think perfecting your "craft" is important - there are many ways to do that... #iolchat

LLHagarty Feb 22 @ 12:23 PM EST

#iolchat My goal is improved learning for students.

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:25 PM EST

Agreed - it can (and is) more than just a workshop or tutorial these days. #iolchat

In reply to @jshamsy

LLHagarty Feb 22 @ 12:26 PM EST

#IOLchat. Thanks so much Jennifer. Great advice from the trenches. I have to sign off now but will try chatting again in future.

In reply to @jshamsy

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:26 PM EST

Q3) What are your ideas for creating new #facdev experiences? Formats, topics, and more ... #iolchat

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:26 PM EST

Thanks for your thoughts...lots of luck in your course =) #iolchat

In reply to @LLHagarty

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:26 PM EST

Great to meet you, Leanne! Have a good week. #iolchat

In reply to @LLHagarty, @jshamsy

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:27 PM EST

I really like the idea of a conference --have yet to attend one...a great way to immerse for a day or two. #iolchat

philosophypaul Feb 22 @ 12:28 PM EST

Hi #IOLchat Paul checking in.

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

philosophypaul Feb 22 @ 12:29 PM EST

A1 Collecting grad. transcript hours for workshops completed as #profdev #IOLchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:29 PM EST

Hello, Paul! Great to see you. :) #iolchat

In reply to @philosophypaul

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:30 PM EST

I like the immersion aspect, too. And it doesn't have to be a huge conference, smaller regional events are great too. #iolchat

In reply to @jshamsy

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:30 PM EST

Hey Paul!! =) #iolchat

In reply to @philosophypaul, @CenterOnlineEd

philosophypaul Feb 22 @ 12:31 PM EST

A2 PD goals include skills, knowledge, app, and sharing w supervised Ts to improve program and course offerings #IOLchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:31 PM EST

like continuing education requirements? I like this idea -- however, wondering if demotivating because it is req? #iolchat

In reply to @philosophypaul

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:31 PM EST

Maybe later this year I can try a virtual one to get my feet wet #iolchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:32 PM EST

Really like the sharing aspect! Expand the effect of participation and get others involved. :) #iolchat

In reply to @philosophypaul

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:32 PM EST

Absolutely! There are some good online ones, and others with virtual options. :) #iolchat

In reply to @jshamsy

philosophypaul Feb 22 @ 12:33 PM EST

Reply: in my case work is done except evaluation for transcription. Then on to a workshop to extend learning. #IOLchat

In reply to @philosophypaul

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:35 PM EST

I like the workshop idea -- application/discussion/synthesis is important #iolchat

In reply to @philosophypaul

wesnice Feb 22 @ 12:35 PM EST

#iolchat - these are HS students, but it is most def "higher learning" :) #pbl + #onlinelearning = #engagement

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:35 PM EST

+1 RT @wesnice #iolchat - these are HS students, but it is most def "higher learning" :) #pbl + #onlinelearning = #engagement

In reply to @wesnice

philosophypaul Feb 22 @ 12:36 PM EST

Virtual attendance is a great alternative. Live stream is a plus. W chat you you participate. Recordings available for later use. #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:32 PM EST

Absolutely! There are some good online ones, and others with virtual options. :) #iolchat
In reply to @jshamsy

And thanks for sharing Blue Dot. Looks like an amazing experience for your students. #iolchat

philosophypaul Feb 22 @ 12:37 PM EST

A3 additional idea for #facdev is unconference #IOLchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:37 PM EST

@jshamsy - I've great virtual attendance experiences - conferences are getting better abt integrating online/onsite #iolchat

In reply to @philosophypaul, @jshamsy

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:38 PM EST

Yes..sounds like good way to participate ...will talk w/everyone later in the year for recommendations! #iolchat

In reply to @philosophypaul

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:41 PM EST

Looking for #facdev ideas? Here's a helpful list: https://t.co/SP1iFmJLEd #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:42 PM EST

Q4) Do you have a preference? or combine strategies? --> Organized by your institution vs. self-directed #profdev #facdev #iolchat

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:44 PM EST

Always self-directed..my institution doesn't really provide #facdev #iolchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

philosophypaul Feb 22 @ 12:44 PM EST

A4 Respond to institution PD, yes. But PD self-directed may answer specific interests needs. Example: UDL webinar #IOLchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:45 PM EST

My experience is the same, with rare exception (which coincidentally included virtual conf. attendance a few years ago) #iolchat

In reply to @jshamsy

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:46 PM EST

Is this related to adjunct status? Or just not really offered? #iolchat

In reply to @jshamsy

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:47 PM EST

Similar experiences here - self-directed efforts tend to be more specific topics, more in depth, too. #iolchat

In reply to @philosophypaul

philosophypaul Feb 22 @ 12:48 PM EST

#iolchat And here is an example of a PD opportunity today: https://t.co/oyMflBbECW

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:50 PM EST

Opportunities are everywhere once you start looking! And many are free like this one, and easy to access. #iolchat

In reply to @philosophypaul

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:50 PM EST

Just not really offered ...the whole department is primarily adjuncts .. but I find plenty to do on my own =) #iolchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:51 PM EST

That makes sense ... and I'm not surprised you find what you need. ;) #iolchat

In reply to @jshamsy

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:51 PM EST

Used to listen to Turnitin stuff all the time -- just haven't had a lot of time lately. They have some good tips! #iolchat

In reply to @philosophypaul

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:51 PM EST

Sometimes too much..becomes a process of filtering and not letting your eyes get bigger than your tummy =) #iolchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:51 PM EST

Last Q coming up ... #iolchat

philosophypaul Feb 22 @ 12:51 PM EST

Yes, self-directed PD may provide answers and applications beyond the mundane #IOLchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:52 PM EST

Excellent point - we can't (and shouldn't) try to do it all! Even though it's tempting to try sometimes. #iolchat

In reply to @jshamsy

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:53 PM EST

Q5) Any recommendations for your institutions re: improving #facdev opportunities? #iolchat

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:54 PM EST

Be aware that it has value...and try to cater recommendations to the audience along w/what will serve the institution #iolchat

philosophypaul Feb 22 @ 12:55 PM EST

A5 Do more exit survey to determine effectiveness, interest. Check on follow-up interest for some topics/ skills #IOLchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:56 PM EST

LIke this idea -- formative assessment too what are people using (interviews/discussions/convo) #iolchat

In reply to @philosophypaul, @CenterOnlineEd

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:56 PM EST

@jshamsy Great suggestions here to target for audience, goals, effectiveness -> provide something meaningful. #iolchat

In reply to @philosophypaul, @jshamsy

jshamsy Feb 22 @ 12:58 PM EST

Faculty/adjuncts/etc. are pulled in so many different directions -- need to target/focus for maximum benefit #iolchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

philosophypaul Feb 22 @ 12:58 PM EST

Your point is important -- time of the essence. Honor it w quality offerings #IOLchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd, @jshamsy

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Feb 22 @ 12:59 PM EST

Time! So much of what we do/don't do comes down to the availability of this resource. #iolchat
