Agenda


 * 1:30 Welcome!**

You have been appointed this month's outreach committee. Your goal is to share positive professional development experiences with the global community, but more particularly your colleagues in the Douglas district, for the purpose of using these to generate a list of quality characteristics for Douglas PD. You will need to work independently, but create a joint report for Dr. Peel to review.

Your tasks:
 * 1) Post to the DSDTechTeach blog about a positive professional development experience--a conference, a class, a workshop, a webinar, etc.
 * Wait a minute. What's a blog?
 * How do I post? First, accept the invitation to become an author that should be in your email. If not, let me know!
 * 1) Read through the posts and leave a comment on at least one.
 * Remember, a good comment is related to the post topic and is more than a single word or phrase!
 * 1) Open the DSDTechTeach slideshow and create one slide related to your blog post.
 * The slideshow is a Google presentation and you should be able to edit it without having to login to Google.
 * 1) Congratulations! You're ready to present!
