My ENG 506 project will focus on the 2006 NYSEC Conference, which we (Dr. Stearns, myself, Matt, Dawn, James, Jack, and Dave) will be attending in Albany. The plan is to interview teachers who are presenting the seminars as well as those teachers who are simply attending the conference.
I have formulated some basic (generic) questions that I will ask my interviewees. My original plan was to focus on specific individuals, but now I realize that will be an impossible task. Here are the questions that I have formulated so far:
1. Are you currently in the classroom?
2. If so, how long have you been teaching?
3. If not, are currently enrolled in classes, either at the graduate or undergraduate level?
4. What courses did you (or do you) find most helpful in your teacher education experience?
5. Do you or would you use technology in the classroom?
6. If so, what particular mediums do you or would you use? (i.e. iMovie, podcasts, PC’s, etc.)
Please feel free to add suggestions or criticisms on either my questions or approach to this project. I forgot to mention that I would be videotaping the process as well as a few seminars (including ours - sorry Dawn). Thanks.

Most of these teachers presenters will be veteran...I don't know if they will recall their "teacher ed" experience.
I like your tech questions but my best suggestion is that you take your cue from the presenters and talk with them about the work they share.
The important thing is to capture the flavor of the conference and bring some of that taste back!
I think it's a wonderful idea. It will be a challenge to decide how to capture the experience in a multi-media "production."
Can't wait to hear about this. Wish I could go, but I have something else going on...
Chrissy-
I love that you're combining your trip to the conference with the final project. I feel like we all need to multitask, if you will in order to get anything done. I wish I could go also but I have to work on the weekends and can't afford to take time off. But I guess I don't have to go since you're going to be documenting it for us! Good Luck! : )
