I attended this session at NECC 2007 on Monday, June 25, 2007.
Some advice I have for presenters. I’ve seen this twice so far today… Too much introduction. Why ask how many people are in the room who are teachers, etc., when you’re not going to change the way you present? And participation – not my thing. When the presenter asked for people to “network” with one another, some people walked out.
The audience has some good ideas about what PBL is what the advantages are. “Good application of what you’ve learned,” and “authentic engagement,” and allows “deep learning.”
Who is the audience for their book? Capable, optimists, learners, connectors. I think we could have skipped this. If I like your session, I’ll get your book. We’re 24 minutes into the presentation and haven’t “seen” anything yet.

At 11:30 we’re looking at the TOC for their book. I’d really like to see some examples, ladies. People are walking out of your session. As the lady who left next to me said, Show me the money.
This session was a waste of my time. In 15 minutes, they could have sold me their book… the content looks good. But there was little I could walk away with and use.
