On-line SITE Forums: Joining and Participating

Abstract

Educators increasingly live more frenzied professional and personal lives. Yet, the demands to stay connected, collaborate, and learn continue to exert pressure on us. Participation on professional forums can provide educators with possibilities to rearrange their time while remaining intellectually and professionally active. Attendees of the initial sessions will be given a working knowledge and skill set for joining and participating on AACE forums. More electronic forums for educators are available and it is increasingly important to join and participate in on-line forums. A follow-up session will be offered for initial workshop participants and on-line forum leaders. Once the skills and on-line protocols are mastered one may wish to moderate or lead an on-line conference. This presentation will provide attendees with handouts and follow-up support for participating on AACE forums. These two interactive sessions are particularly important for SITE participants who wish to be involved in SITE's work, especially the committees for conference, publications and related working groups.
