The Savvy TRT

I've been asked to present at the Global Educon in November. It's so hard to pick a presentation topic. So many of the topics in the Strands interest me. From nuts and bolts topics of how to collaborate with other schools to service learning and making project meaningful to students, to the role of ed. leadership in promoting and supporting global collaboration.

What do you think is of most interest to the gen. ed. classroom teacher that wouldn't make them feel like it's just one more thing they don't have time for?

The proliferation of online graduate degrees: Are they valued in the work environment?

So now that I am in a doctoral program that was touted as "blended learning" and seeing firsthand what that looks like, I wonder about the quality of totally online graduate programs. The program I'm in could do a little more leveraging of the technology to improve the learning and engagement amongst participants.

I teach online cont. Ed. Courses for teachers and realize it's just like our bricks and mortar counterparts: the student gets out of it what they put into it. I wonder if the online graduate degrees stand up to industry scrutiny?
