Roberta Rowe had an abundant amount of great information. I really appreciated hearing about all the technology that is our there and how students are using it. It is important to keep updated with all of this, such as Facebook, Twitter, blogging, texting, etc. When we are in administration we need to know the appropriate actions to take when we are faced with "cyber bullying" and/or "sexting". It can be frustrating because things may seem a little backwards in the sense that kids know more than adults about some of this technology stuff. It is because of this that it is important that as adults we keep up to date on what is out there. If it wasn't for this class I probably would have never taken the time to figure out what twitter was or even how to blog, and yet kids do it all the time.
I enjoyed listening to Dr. Hauser on effective meetings. Some meetings just never felt effective nor efficient, yet we were doing what we were suppose to do by having an agenda to keep the meeting going. After listening to Dr. Hauser about what a good agenda should look like, it began to make sense why some of our meetings did not flow. The planning before the meeting is just as important as the meeting itself and should probably take a lot longer than the meeting. I will definitely keep her sample to use in future meetings.
The last part of the day was spent reviewing expulsion and suspensions. This was eye opening to hear of the "big 5" which are mandatory expulsions. The pamphlet was very helpful and will definitely by useful in the future.
