Connie's Presentation Area: Parental Involvement in School

Comment to Connie Brown:

Concerning the importance of family, parental, and community involvement in education as a collaborative enterprise: in the classes I have taught I have found that, by far, the students that perform the best are the ones that study their homework with their parents or some other study partner. Studying is usually considered a solitary endeavor but, since humans are social beings, perhaps homework or study activities could include partner activities where the partner calls out to the learner the words or concepts to be learned. The homework or study partner could be (either as a constant one or revolving amongst several study partners) a parent, a sibling, a fellow student, a friend, etc. By using this method, the partner is sharing in the educational experience and learning too.

Darryl's Presentation Area: The Optimal Experience: A Guide to Understanding the Essential Components in Achieving Maximal Results in Events

Comment to Darryl:

I think your project involves a lot of the concepts of existentialism as well as spiritualism so you might consider some sources and authors related to those areas, such as Jean Paul Sartre.

Geri's Presentation Area: LMS Consultants

Comment to Geri:

Consulting sounds like advising or suggesting methods and materials. Are you are also planning on designing courses for clients? Say, if they provided you with a textbook and information to include in a course would you actually create the course content for them? --- Richard

Robert's Presentation Area: Character Education Improvement Plan

Comment to Robert:

It sounds like you and Alisa are covering some similar issues. Maybe you both can share some resources. I posted under her outline in unit 6 some book sources that you might be interested in. --- Richard
