Just a quick rave about virtual office hours :-)
Earlier this morning, Cheryl, Mary and I were able to quickly gather here at GST while Kelley, our ISC colleague, was in Watkins Glen working with the Middle School Music teacher. We were able to make excellent use of our time and thiers by using IVC for our meeting - I love this!
The music teacher is working on a project that would have his students creating a time line of significant musical and historical events - from around the 1950's on. He especially liked the timeline he found at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's website. And he's interested in using that as something of a model for what his students could create. The RRHF's IVC session titled "Great Moments in Rock and Roll: Popular Music Through Decades" was of particular interest to him. Kicking off the start of the project with that connection would certainly be a great way to get the students focused on a fun and engaging learning opportunity!
Since he is planning this project for spring 2009, he's giving excellent lead time to schedule a session and perhaps even work out an opportunity to have his students present back to staff at the RRHF.
