  1. Resource Portal for the RET Community Lillian N Cassel Villanova University

  2. What resources • Learning opportunities to get ready to teach a new subject • Presentations prepared by others, for adaptation and reuse • Discrete objects to insert into presentations you are preparing • Tools for you and your students to use • Community connections

  3. Learning opportunities • Workshops • Local, regional, national conferences • Tutorial sites online • Referrals to appropriate textbooks, articles, videos, etc.

  4. Presentations prepared by others, for adaptation and reuse • Many people are teaching the same material; some people are willing to share what they do. • Approaches and styles vary, but the underlying content may be what you need • Looking at syllabi prepared by other people may generate ideas for your approach • http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/course/15-211/ • A set of slides produced for use in a different school or college may be useable with little modification. • Some advanced presentations are interactive, or have supplementary information • http://adapt2.sis.pitt.edu/kt/content/Show?id=4088

  5. Discrete objects to insert into presentations you are preparing • Even if you are a dedicated do-it-yourselfer, you may appreciate images, video, exact quotes, etc. to illustrate your points. Univac I Keypunch Steve Jobs & Steve Wozniak

  6. Tools for you and your students to use • Walden’s paths • Visual Knowledge Builder • IDEs • On line grading tools • TECH Tools

  7. Community Connections • Perhaps most important of all • Being in touch with people you know, and people you don’t know, who share your interests and goals • Active discussions, pointers to discoveries, a place to ask a question…

  8. A Portal for RET • Located within Ensemble • Brings connections to other computing educators • Allows a private space for your own use • http://www.computingportal.org/site/node/512 • The structure is there, connections are there, some content is there but most will come as you decide what you want.

  9. Choices • Do you want a private space not visible outside your community? • Do you want some private spaces and some open? • Do you want others to see some of what you post, but not be allowed to post? • During these meeting days, give some thought to what would best serve your needs. • Be aware of what is there

  10. Questions, Discussion?
