Wk 3 Comment to Jenn Hollern's Blog

The conference that I am really excited about presenting at is the Summit on Transformative Learning. Rollins College hosts and calls for submissions every year, and they base the format on TED Talks – a scholar or expert offers comments on a topic for 18 minutes and there are a few minutes left for questions. Short. SImple. Sassy. And most of all, it requires absolutely precise word choice. 
I love this format so much and just believe in the mission of the entire summit – to talk about ways that we can transform learning. Topics range from everything between experiential learning to better science curriculum to media-based education. Such a wide variety of talent, but may not fit within the requirements of this project.
So my second option is at the National Association for Multicultural Education National Conference. Since my CBR project is based around increasing the visibility of the Office of Multicultural Affairs and diversifying the media-based awareness initiatives, I think this would be an ideal venue to talk about how we present multicultural education. 

Jenn,

You have always been an excited person to listen to. I am glad read that you will present your CBR project at Summit on Transformative Learning or the National Association for Multicultural Education National Conference. I would understand the TED Talks format would interest you because of the precise word choice, because you have a good sense of words. I remember how you defended your target audience at one of the Wimba session in LSM course. You have a great voice for presenting and defending what you believe in. I believe you will do a great job in presenting your CBR project. You will do a wonderful job. Good Luck with your presentation!
