A Step Back and a Leap Forward

DAY SIX, Monday, April 20th Good day, Colleagues. I’m Barbara Glenn, Blogger # 2 now logged in for this second week of the JSRCC Virtual Distance Learning Conference. Looking back ion last week momentarily, I was quite surprised to have met someone, not an "Old R" who knows the "very Richmond-speak." I met someone who calls herself an old fogy, and even someone not afraid to call himself a digital immigrant in the Twitter Age. Of the 123 conferees last week, half of them are originally from out-of-state. I feel fortunate to be among those whose institutions implemented long-term professional development programs back in the nineties to prepare early adopters for quality online instruction. Remember, last week’s keynote speaker, who moved from computer lab to Director of Distance Learning at Halifax? As we continue discussions from last week, especially the Faculty Research Symposium held last Friday, be sure to take advantage of the full programming for this final conference week (Conference at-a-glance appears below). And if you have not yet signed up for the spring 2009 Technology Summit on Friday, April 24th, hurry! I’ve already selected my concurrent sessions and look forward to the hearing our keynote speaker present again on that day.
