 * Feb. 8, 2011**
 * Hi Everyone! Hope you are enjoying a real Vermont winter...or not....**


 * Well, I have sent in a proposal for the Dynamic Landscapes Conference in May, and I hope that some of you will join Susan and me for a panel discussion about professional development that was provided in the fall course. My hope is that several of you might share your thoughts about the process and the projects that you completed. I am personally interested in learning if you have been able to follow through with any of your takeaways.**


 * Angel, Heidi, Jen H., Martha had indicated in December that they might like to participate. Anyone else interested is more than welcome.**


 * As far as what it would entail, I see it as a narrative of our journey together, with you folks providing some highlights of the cruise.**


 * An hour is all we are asking for...What do you think?**


 * Judy**

Angel: It would be a great experience. Have panel members and alternates, so you maintain participation and flexibility over the coming months. Heidi: What exactly would being a panel member entail? Nature abhores a vacuum, so after this class I would have a bit of time to devote to something like this..... Martha: I think that it is important to have a range of panel members, from large and small schools, elementary through high, schools that have and schools that haven't.

I also would want to know a bit more about what would be required but am interested,

Sue: I really hope some of the folks in this class put together a presentation. I think we really need to share what we've learned with others and take the leadership stance at DL2011.

__I have 2 other suggestions/questions:__

I will be looking for people to work with me on the conference committee so am inviting members of this class to volunteer. The work involves reviewing the speakers and workshop proposals on a wiki and helping make final decisions, set goals, etc. It will be focused work from Jan. right after the break until the Feb. break. There are other things to be done afterward, but the primary commitment is short-lived.

In addition, I am looking for suggestions for our keynote and endnote speakers. Any ideas? Our budget is not huge...

Please get back to me if you are interested in helping with the committee this year.

Also Sue: Has anyone heard Kristin Fontichiaro speak in a formal presentation? Her publications had a big impact on my thinking this term, and I enjoyed her Scopia session. I wonder if others think she might make a good speaker for the keynote or endnote session at Dynamic Landscapes this spring?

Also, I hope that other members of this learning community will join me in a variety of ways as I begin working on the conference- by joining the conference committee, by proposing workshops, by contacting me with ideas for speakers, workshops, and other suggestions that can make this the greatest conference yet.

Judy:

I was also impressed with her presence in the scopia meeting. I haven't heard her speak before a group, but I imagine that she might be quite inspirational in addressing future directions for librology, to use Emily's term. Let's ask Susan B what she thinks.

I would be happy to work with you on the program. Let me know what I can do.
