Activities

 

We are reaching the wrap-up point in our course, so please ask any questions NOW that you need to know. This group will stay up during the whole time period leading up to TESOL, so feel free to write to us with questions or comments as you work through your own sessions. Be sure to stay in touch with your mentor(s), who will be a part of your group in Jan-Feb also. And do take a look at the Post-Training page in this wiki.

 

Your tasks for this week:

 

1. Complete your expanded syllabus, taking into account the advice of your mentor and colleagues in the EVO_Moderators YG. Be sure there is a link from our wiki, Your Sessions 2010. Your syllabus cannot be included in our Call for Participation if we can't find it there!

 

2. Please visit or revisit the Yahoo Group (or other CMS) and/or wiki sites of at least two of your colleagues in this course. The addresses should be clickable in our LINKS section. Make sure your own site is in the LINKS section!

 

3. At the end of this week, please be sure to take the short Evaluation Survey of your experience with this online training group. The address of the survey will also be posted on our YG frontpage. We'd appreciate your comments as we prepare for next year.

 

4. Make sure to complete your syllabus and copy it to the page created for your session linked at Your Sessions 2010

 

5. Chat #3 at the Elluminate Webheads Vroom --details to follow.
