[Announcements] Teaching with Sakai Webinar, September 27, 2011

[Jon Hays]

Dear Sakai Teaching & Learning Community,

You are invited to attend the new Teaching with Sakai Webinar Series 
that was proposed at the LA Sakai Conference in June.  Our goals for 
putting on these webinars are to expand our local professional 
development efforts and develop deeper cross-institutional collaboration 
and sharing.

We encourage institutions to setup "watch parties" with faculty and 
instructors so that you can participate both in a community wide 
discussion and follow-up local discussions.  Contact us if you are 
interested in setting up a watch party for your campus so we can include 
you in a pre-webinar practice session. This is very much a grass-roots 
effort and we will all be learning as we go, so stay tuned!

UC Berkeley will kick things off by hosting the inaugural webinar:

September 27, 2011 at 3pm EST (12pm PST)
*Learning through reflective writing and immersion with social media*
Bobby White is teaching a 10 week professional development seminar for 
faculty focused on the history and origins of new media.  The primary 
learning goals for her class are to:

  * develop a greater understanding of the cross-disciplinary
    foundations of new media
  * be able to utilize social media in supporting students to facilitate
    their own learning

This webinar will focus on how Bobby is using blogs and the Sakai Open 
Academic Environment (OAE) to meet these goals through reflections on 
readings, sharing ideas, and online discussion.

*Teaching with Sakai Webinar Series*
The Teaching with Sakai webinar series highlights effective teaching 
practices using Sakai from across the community.  Each webinar in the 
series will begin with a 20 minute presentation followed by a 
facilitated discussion.

This is an opportunity for you to take advantage of one of the real 
benefits of the Sakai Community, so don't miss out!

If you have questions or have an idea for a webinar to add later in the 
year, let us know.
