Professional Development discussion
- IT SIG has been coordinating with eXtension, using Iowa State's Connect for Web conferences. 20-25 minutes and Q&A. All sessions are recorded for watching if you miss a topic, or want to watch it later
- Several topics have been done in the past year
- Other topics suggested: Flickr, OpenID, Using eXtension wiki, Portable disk imaging
- Need more topics, and people to teach topics
- Suggested: as go through sessions this week, keep in mind that some of these topics may lend themselves to wanting a follow-up session for ACE IT SIG
- Request for presenters
- Suggestions:
- SmugMug (for managing online photos)
- Widgets
- Show examples for extension uses of wikis and blogs- Applied (Anne volunteered!)
- interesting applications of some technology that's not new, but used in a new way
- SharePoint Services
- Wikis in SharePoint
- SlideShare (Roger volunteered :))
- Online Surveys
- How to find out about new technologies
- More with Moodle -- show & tell, lessons's learned, model course
- How do we, as information technlogy professionals
- How to deal with administration in our institutions
- How to managing expectations
- How to work with campus-wide technology groups more effectively
- Alfresco (an open source CMS)
- Illuminate
- Account and Password management
- May want to do some longer (hour) sessions on more in-depth topics
- Discussion topics that would draw in more IT folks would be good! Good to have topics that introduce a technology that everyone may not use, but as professionals they want to be aware and knowledgeable about
- Comment that many NETC sessions lend themselves to recorded PD session, and then NETC could be used for more discussions and collaborations
- Link state provided Recordings on topics (ie, Becky mentioned Office 2007 Transition trainings) to the ACE SIG wiki site to share with other members.
