It looked interesting so I am going to do it, too.

Here is the meme that Clif Mims sent to Miguel:

Summer can be a great time for professional development. It is an opportunity to learn more about a topic, read a particular work or the works of a particular author, beef up an existing unit of instruction, advance one’s technical skills, work on that advanced degree or certification, pick up a new hobby, and finish many of the other items on our ever-growing To Do Lists. Let’s make Summer 2008 a time when we actually get to accomplish a few of those things and enjoy the thrill of marking them off our lists.

My PD Goals for Summer 2008

  1. Participate in the summer book group sponsored by CASTLE and Dr. Scott McLeod where we are reading, Influencer. Assessment: Reading the whole book and being a faithful participant in the online discussion in whatever format it takes. Posting to my blog about the experience.
  2. Complete the online course for Online Course Development sponsored by ETLO and eLearning Alabama. Assessment: Having a completed 6-week course on Reading and Web 2.0 and creating a Moodle Course Shell for it.
  3. Blogging on my personal and professional blogs at least once a week, but try to comment on other blogs I read daily at least 3 times a week. Assessment: On August 31, 2008, I should have at least 13 weekly posts on Fresh Fowlers and Magistra’s Musings. On August 31, I should have over 60 comments in my coComment account.

I tag these folks:

Katie Kinney, Jeremie Kinney, Sandra Hornig, Elizabeth Whitehead, Lisa Clayton
