I also appreciate assessment tools for the "softer" side of the projects and for assessing the overall project. These can form artifacts that can go in a dossier to document the work done.

I have already shared the resources Dave mentioned about VISTA with colleagues here trying to set up an environmental "scholar in residence" type program to promote more community connections with an environmental theme.
And there happened to be a guest speaker here last Friday in Spanish that was talking about service learning and after talking with her, she is going to blog about our class project - so the PR is already getting started! ]]> Jennifer Houghton 1265746980 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/workshop10/discussions/workshop_summar.html#post5427 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/workshop10/discussions/workshop_summar.html#post5430
I did not anticipate the GREAT stuff I would learn about cognition, assessment, etc. I have been teaching for 25 years and I realize after this conference how much more I can do to become a better teacher. All this I learned through the project design page. I did a lot of "Oh gee....I haven't thought about that" And I was happy to see the links to learning more (from the workshop participants and from the SERC website)

I learned that virtual workshops are awesome, but that I should make arrangements for all my classes during the workshop because it was TOO much to try to do it all. ]]> Renee Faatz 1265747160 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/workshop10/discussions/workshop_summar.html#post5430 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/workshop10/discussions/workshop_summar.html#post5450
I have learned that although service learning has been around for decades in the USA, many institutions across the nation are recognizing the value of service learning by adding additional course offerings in SL, faculty and even constructing entire schools of service learning.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your many contributions: all the really insightful presentations, the thoughtful discussions (live and threaded), the good practical advice, cool new teaching activities, and the thoughtful reviews! You all are responsible for making this workshop a great success.

I also want to thank all of you for partaking of this new virtual workshop format. We learned a lot about how to conduct one of these events, and we will really value your feedback about what worked, and what we might change.

Special thanks to our co-conveners, Ed Laine and Suzanne O'Connell--they inspired us to offer this workshop and worked over many months to develop the program and website materials. And extra special thanks to Karin and Monica for their behind the scenes technical support on the website and in mastering the communication software. This event could not have been possible without all of you.
Best wishes to all, and thanks again for your many contributions]]> Dave Mogk 1265748180 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/workshop10/discussions/workshop_summar.html#post5451 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/workshop10/discussions/workshop_summar.html#post5493
I get cramps when I jam a receiver to my ear for an hour and more, and my phone has no headphone jack!]]> William Locke 1265751780 http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/servicelearning/workshop10/discussions/workshop_summar.html#post5493
