Web Seminar on Assessment
ASCD is hosting a one-hour seminar with Jay McTighe on “Balanced Classroom Assessment” on February 10, from 12:30 to 1:30 Pacific time. He will lead the online presentation live. You can read more about it and get registration information atwww.ascd.org/cms/index.cfm?TheViewID=2264.
As a techie-type person, I find the idea of a web-based seminar to be really interesting and possibly a promising method of disseminating information. Unfortunately, I find the idea of charging $99 for a one-hour presentation to be less appealing. Perhaps it’s geared at higher-ups, and they want to keep the number of participants low to increase the opportunity for interaction. It still seems like a lot to pay for an hour, though, especially for something web-based.
