= = Welcome to the World Language Professional Development course: World Languages: Increasing Enrollment in Upper Level and AP level Courses. This course will be using both Ning and Wiki for course work. Use Ning for your submitting your responses. Use the Wiki for a workspace with your group. Ning address: [] On Ning you will find: Forums (where discussions are to be submitted), Blog space, and Group pages. Groups have been broken into language groups. On this page you will have thinking questions in the Discussion area, and a comment section for each of you to give an opinion about a question or comment. Use this section (Notes) as your guide for this course. Here you will find your lessons (and instructions) for each day, and resources. In addition to receiving this information, any changes or notifications will be found here as well. Be sure to check daily. (The same information will be found on the Wiki, for back up.) It may seem strange to use a Ning and a Wikispace at the same time for this Professional Development lesson. The reason is to expose teachers to different types of technological tools that can be used to supplement classes. Once the course is completed, it is hoped that this exposure will influence the teacher to choose to use one or both applications in the future. Do not forget that **physical attendance is required on day 1 and day 10**. This is a hybrid course where we meet as a group in person and via the internet. This set up has been chosen in an effort to take the sting out of using technology. I will be available to meet with you and/or your group during the days that physical attendance is not required. (Sometimes it is nice to work together in person, especially if technology is overwhelming!) Where you choose to work is up to you. The idea is to learn how to improve enrollment by incorporating technology! Bonne chance!
