A colleague attended a conference recently as did a few other people on staff. I'm quite certain that all participants got a lot out of their experience. But the exciting thing is that the one colleague decided to share her experience by forwarding an email with some examples and the prezi attached.
Being the info junkie that I am, I immediately watched the prezi, looked at all the attachments, and started thinking about the classes with whom I could try some of these literacy activities.
But it got me questioning...
Why isn't that the norm? Why don't colleagues who go to conferences and workshops, ask permission of the presenter, and then share widely and willingly? It's something I try to do, but I can't help but notice that it doesn't happen very often. I'd like to presume good intentions, so perhaps the reason is that the participant feels like they couldn't do the presentation justice. To which I'd say... isn't a little bit of sharing, even if it's not perfect, better than nothing?
Thanks for sharing Kelly. :-)
