Share your advive with new ALOP students!

(from Jeff Mease)

Do you remember your first Friday night class in the Drake adult education program? Were you nervous, scared, excited, or maybe a little bit of everything? I know I was very excited to finally be there while equally convinced that I was only person in the room who didn’t know anything.

What helped me to survive were the friendships that I made with my fellow classmates. Their advice and insights were extremely helpful as we ventured into new subjects and tackled big projects. Together we discovered a website or a book that made a class easier to get through. I learned a few tips like buying my books online instead of at the bookstore that saved me time and money. I’m sure you’ve got a few tips and tricks yourself that could help the next class of students.

Here’s your chance to share with others the resources that you’ve found helpful in your studies. As part of my final project for the class ALOP-298 Using Emerging Technologies for Learning, I’ve created a wiki to collect your insights and advice for the future students of our program.

For those not familiar with what a wiki is, it’s a webpage or collection of web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content – think Wikipedia on a small-scale. I’m asking you to contribute to our wiki. It will be a collection created by Drake adult education graduate students for Drake adult education graduate students.

Instructions:

1. Click on this link to open the ALOP Advice wiki
   
2. In the navigation panel on the left-hand side, I’ve created some pages to organize the content. Click on a page to view the current material
   
3. To add your own material, click on the “Edit This Page” button at the top of the page
   
4. Add your content. Please start your entry with your name and graduation date.
   
5. Click Save and you’re done.

Please feel free to forward this to others in the program that I missed.

Thank you for your help with my project; and on behalf of those students who have yet to enjoy their first Friday night, thanks for your advice.

ALOP 291 Dissemination Night

Mark your calendars--dissemination night for ALOP 291 will be held April 28, 7:00p-9:30p upstairs in Olmsted.

What is dissemination night?
It's a chance for the students in the applied research class to talk about their research projects in front of friends, colleagues, family, and other students.

Why should you attend?
To support your colleagues and to see what it's like before you have to take research! (plus it's a great chance to see the types of projects students do for this class.) And there's dessert and coffee!
