ASTD 2009 Call for Proposals

ASTDIt has only been a week since I returned from ASTD 2008, and already the Call for Proposals for ASTD 2009 is available and online. Hurry, though–the submissions have to be done by July 15!

I really enjoyed this year’s convention where I presented a poster session. Wonder if I should submit another proposal for next year; if so, on what topic? I have enough interests, so will have to consider this one (but quickly!).

Final Exam Wiki

I am using a wiki to work with my students to create their final exam later this week. I do not think many of them have done this before, so this is a learning experience for all of us.

One thing I have noticed; while I am trying to encourage democratic education, they have been so infused with top-down instruction that they seem to be having trouble letting loose with this as an opportunity to shape their own final.

I think this will be an interesting experience to debrief with them.
