I work with a great bunch of folks from around the U.S. giving presentations face-to-face and online. Christine Kickels, Matthew MacLaughlin, Terry Peak, and Chris Martinez are all Blackboard Certified Trainers who have a passion for communicating good teaching practices (see picture below).

2008

Our last presentation was at BbWorld 08. We did the Less Is More break-out session, in which we each highlighted a different method to engage learners. I did an introduction to using modules in a Blackboard environment:

Later that year (November 16), Terry Peak and I presented a break-out session at the 2008 T-BUG (Texas Blackboard User's Group) conference. Our subject was Integrating Good Teaching Practices with Media, Graphics, and other Blackboard Content. Here are the slides:

2009

For me, 2009 was a lean year in terms of presentations. The recession hit our institution (like so many others) and suddenly there were no funds to send anyone anywhere. However, at SWBTS I worked with a committee to expand our Internet course offerings.

2010

I presented two break-out sessions at BbWorld 2010: How to Customize the Blackboard 9x Login Page and Communicating the Arrival of Release 9.1. You will find the slides as well as links to other materials on my BbWorld 2010 page.
