LAND+Presentation


 * Below is an outline for the LAND conference presentation. Adapt and tweak as we see fit!**

I'm brainstorming below, Michael. Let me know what you think. All is disjointed.
 * 1 || Provide overview of what the Netbook Pilot is and how we started to implement it. Review key research elements, as well as touch on current pedagogical perspectives (//Digital Writing Workshop, Because Digital Writing Matters,// and similar.) ||
 * 2 || Nadine presents on her practice and findings from W10 and F10. What worked well? What didn't? Show attendees some student work.


 * I want to highlight the ease of having handouts and articles in the course site so no one could say they didn't have the handouts and readings.**


 * Also, I want to talk about the difference using the discussion board made in fall-didn't use it in winter.**


 * The higher number of students completing and earning a passing grade compared to the division averages. (I'll ask Roz for the stats)**

//I actually see Zack fairly regularly in Midland, so getting ahold of him shouldn't be too hard. In my sections, I haven't seen a "type" emerge so far, except that there was a strong curiosity among many about what a laptop class was all about. So perhaps a willingness to experiment emerges. My sections don't really seem to break down with more males, except for my F10 ENG 112A class. Let me chew on this a bit more, though!// **I need to actually figure out the %. Could be a feeling that isn't founded. Maybe we should video Zack about his thoughts and show it? Feed him some general questions?** //I think Zack would probably be very willing to do that. I'll ask him!// ||
 * Share student comments from the evals too? Ya, think?** //Yes, definitely, let's share student eval comments. I like that kind of unfiltered authenticity.// ||
 * 3 || Mike presents on his practice and findings from W10 and F10. Show attendees some student work. What worked well? What didn't? How did two different sections (ENG 111C and ENG 112A) adapt to using the technology? ||
 * 4 || How we envision this growing/moving forward **Do we know if others are teaching netbook sections? Has it grown? How will we grow it?** //Very good questions! I don't believe others are teaching laptop sections at this point, but Roz would know that for sure. It's grown for me being able to apply laptop designation to all my comp classes. I wonder if we can help it grow in the English division by providing different practices for 111 and 112, ones that make sense for the difference focuses. Just thinking out loud there.// ||
 * 5 || Since we both had Zack Ott in common, I wonder if it would be worth doing a mini-case study of his experiences. He liked what happened in your ENG 111 class enough to actively seek out a laptop ENG 112. What do you think? **Most definitely. Also, are you seeing a trend in the "type" of student" who takes these courses. To me, they have similar personality traits. Also, both my sections had more males than a usual section. I had a fair number of females, but they were outnumbered.**
