Meeting with Rich on NCPEA Meeting with Rich on NCPEA

Last Friday, I met with Rich to discuss the forthcoming NCPEA conference.
At the beginning of last week, I learned that I would be joining Rich in D.C. to help run a few workshops on Connexions at the NCPEA conference. As he explained to me on Friday, the NCPEA is in National Council of Professors of Educational Administration; basically, they teach principals principles. (Sorry, couldn't resist! ;) )

The NCPEA is going to be creating content as well as peer-reviewing said content! The module "Toward a Leadership Practice Field" is the first of many. According to Rich, much of the authorship will be done in pairs, with at least one author having field experience.

The workshop that we will be running will give just the basics. First we plan on going through how the student would view a module; Rich actually plans on going through as much of this as possible during his lunch talk, just to give them a head start. Then, we'll get into the basics of content creation, introducing them to the tools we have available both on cnx and beta.

This week, I'll be preparing a list of specific points that we'll cover, as well as a list of helpful url's and key words.

Cool! Please do blog it when you get back. If there's wireless, you could perhaps even liveblog the keynote address ;-)

Elizabeth, I have a list of topics that I cover in the workshops I present. I give the list out to the attendees at the beginning of the workshop, along with some other material. You are welcome to stop by and get a copy of the list. Also, your description of the list of helpful key words and URLs you are compiling sounds similar to the material on the Quick Reference Card, which is the 4th item on the Connexions Help page.
