Preparing For Second Face-to-Face

What an exciting discussion is in progress - keep it up! Let me go over a few logistics, as we near the end of the discussion period:

1. You don't have to have all your posts done by the second face-to-face meeting. I am looking to wrap up the discussion and award credits by the end of the FOLLOWING week, Friday March 5th.

2. One piece of information I will be verifying at the final face-to-face is an accurate MAILING ADDRESS for sending you your certificates of completion. You can either verify this at the final face-to-face or E-mail it to me (gnelson@bridgew.edu). For those who did not attend the first face-to-face, I will also need to know whether you want the certificate to be training hours (for the Dept of Early Ed and Care) or PDPs (for the Dept of Elem and Secondary Ed).

3. There will be one final reflection topic I will post AFTER the final face-to-face. ALL participants who want to receive credit will need to respond to this final post.

4. In making sure you have done enough posts for the credit you want, don't count the "Introduce Yourself" or final reflection posts in your count. If you want 10 hours credit and you attend both face-to-faces, you need at least 8 posts. If you miss one face-to-face, you need at least 12 posts. If you are doing on-line only (i.e., 5 hours credit), you need at least 8 posts. Below those minimums, we thank you for your participation and hope you found it worthwhile, but no certificate will be issued.

I think that's it! On with the discussion.
