6:09 pm lvanlysal: Do most of U feel that your professional development is self-directed, or do U look to a supervisor/organization to give you a plan? #sachat
6:10 pm bryan_koval: @jkilmer I find really focused institutes to be realy meaningful for me. Broad conferences are OK, but I prefer an institute feel. #sachat
6:10 pm debrasanborn: RT @jkilmer: #sachat: My question is how beneficial do you find conferences to your prof. dev. if you are NOT entry-level or new to field.
6:10 pm pereirap80: <---- Campus Activities @ Texas A&M University-San Antonio #sachat
6:10 pm kristendom: @jkilmer I think it depends on the conference focus - I tend to use more general SA conferences for networking instead of learning #sachat
6:11 pm AndreaHart: Hey folks! I'm Andrea, Student Activities extraordinaire at the University of New Mexico! I am using my 1000th tweet on YOU ALL! #sachat
6:11 pm lvanlysal: @jkilmer I think conferences are helpful if there are a number of presentations specific to my specialty from ppl I admire/respect #sachat
6:11 pm ARL275: @lvanlysal the longer i work the job, the more self directed it is. as i find what directions i want career to move in, i look more #sachat
6:11 pm pereirap80: @jkilmer I still enjoy them alot 'cause its a great way to reconnect with colleagues that I used to work with & learn best practices #sachat
6:11 pm bryan_koval: @lvanlysal I feel that I am responsible for my professional development. But I want my supervisor to clue me into things I miss. #sachat
6:11 pm cdorso: .@jkilmer For me, as an 11-year vet, it's about presenting and helping new people stay interested in the field. #sachat
6:12 pm debrasanborn: RT @kristendom: @jkilmer depends on the conference focus - use more general SA conferences for networking instead of learning #sachat
6:12 pm pereirap80: @lvanlysal I think it's a little of both but mine has been more self-directed. #sachat
6:12 pm ARL275: RT @bryan_koval I feel that I am responsible for my professional development.But I want my supervisor to clue me into things I miss. #sachat
6:12 pm shillis: @jkilmer #sachat: some conferences great for PD, others not so much. But I usually come back excited and rejuvenated.
6:12 pm lynnellison: .@jkilmer Conferences: I find nuggets of helpful info, but rarely anything major. But, sometimes the nuggets add up significantly. #sachat
6:13 pm ARL275: do any of your schools provide in house prof development days/ops? #sachat
6:13 pm debrasanborn: RT @bryan_koval: @lvanlysal I feel I am responsible for my prof dev. But I want my supervisor to clue me into things I miss. #sachat
6:13 pm thestacyface: Conferences end up being mostly networking for me at mid-level. Still helpful, but not as much as those first few years. #sachat
6:13 pm edcabellon: Good afternoon everyone, sorry I'm late! #SAChat
6:13 pm shillis: @lvanlysal #sachat I think it is both. Our institution requires 8 hrs of pd, but its my responsibility to continue to develop professionally
6:13 pm pereirap80: RT @bryan_koval: @lvanlysal I feel that I am responsible for my professional development. But I want my supervisor to clue me into things I miss. #sachat
6:14 pm hollyrae: #sachat prof. dev. issue many edus may be dealing with these days is morale, economic strain has ripple effects (can't be here tonight) :(
6:14 pm bryan_koval: @ARL275 As a unit we block out every Thurs. morning for some sort of PD. Some weeks it becomes office time but PD usually happens. #sachat
6:14 pm lvanlysal: @ARL275 Our division offers about 3 opps/semester. I'm starting a large-group #sachat meeting in 2 weeks to try to fill in the gaps.
6:14 pm shillis: @ARL275 #sachat my institution provides college wide opportunities, as well as various things in just #studentaffairs
6:14 pm pereirap80: @ARL275 When I was @ University of Arizona, they did in house pro dev stuff. I assume they still do. #sachat
6:14 pm edcabellon: I apologize to all for the increased # of tweets over the last hour plus due to #BSCtech and #SAChat
6:15 pm kristendom: @ARL275 We have in the past, although it's usually up to us to organize it - it can be a great chance to practice presenting #sachat
6:15 pm princeje: I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot of observing and not a lot of chatting this week... #sachat
6:15 pm edcabellon: Welcome! RT @cdorso: Hey all! Chris D'Orso, Assistant Director of Admissions at Stony Brook University in NY. #SAChat
6:15 pm AndreaHart: @lvanlysal I think my prof. dev. is a mix. My sup is great at bringing things to us but we seek out opportunities ourselves too #sachat
6:15 pm kristendom: I think one way I try to provide pd to my staff is through cross-training in other offices when possible #sachat
6:16 pm ARL275: we have college-wide prof development days, usually each semester, where all admin and special projects are required to participate #sachat
6:16 pm lvanlysal: @The_SA_Blog I really think my best professional development sources are all of you. I get articles, best practices, etc #sachat
6:16 pm lvanlysal: @The_SA_Blog Also, when I schedule a random lunch with a colleague I admire I generally learn something worthwhile #sachat
6:16 pm bryan_koval: @ARL275 Our HR office offers sessions but they are very basic and more admin focused. for example: "Filing the Penn State Way."#sachat
6:16 pm ARL275: @princeje observation is a form of prof developement #sachat
6:16 pm AndreaHart: RT @kristendom: I think one way I try to provide pd to my staff is through cross-training in other offices when possible /YES YES! #sachat
6:16 pm edcabellon: BSC SA is offering regular Staff Dvt. opportunities this semester. Today we did one on students and social media (#bsctech) #SAChat
6:17 pm shillis: RT @lvanlysal: @The_SA_Blog I really think my best professional development sources are all of you. I get articles, best practices, etc #sachat
6:17 pm edcabellon: RT @lvanlysal: Also, when I schedule a random lunch with a colleague I admire I generally learn something worthwhile #sachat #SAChat
6:18 pm debrasanborn: @lvanlysal Agreed. Twitter is my best source for information and inspiration! #sachat
6:18 pm jkilmer: @shillis @ivanlysal - that brings up an interesting point. What role do conference play in prof. dev. with new social media like #sachat?
6:18 pm slhealy: From the perspective of a current job-searcher: Schools that mention pro. dev. in description got a closer look, more consideration. #sachat
6:18 pm ARL275: i wish you were all closer for random lunches! #sachat
6:18 pm edcabellon: Me too RT @debrasanborn: @lvanlysal Agreed. Twitter is my best source for information and inspiration! #sachat #SAChat
6:19 pm edcabellon: Twitter is the best FREE form of professional development out there, hands down, no matter what your career is! #SAChat
6:19 pm debrasanborn: @bryan_koval Filing? Really? :) #sachat
6:19 pm bryan_koval: @slhealy We always tried to highlight it in our search processes . . . it attracts a certain kind of candidate too. #sachat
6:19 pm lvanlysal: Now that I'm finally contributing to the profession (writing, presentations) I find that PD opportunities seem to find me. #sachat
6:19 pm pereirap80: RT @edcabellon: Twitter is the best FREE form of professional development out there, hands down, no matter what your career is! #SAChat
6:20 pm edcabellon: @jmayojr Thanks, I'm a bit of a fan :-) Where do you work? #SAChat
6:20 pm bryan_koval: @debrasanborn Useful for some . . . not for me, though. :) #sachat
6:20 pm JenPaulin: @The_SA_Blog We do weekly article discussions as part of our staff mtg Topics range from trends - current cases/issues in higher ed #sachat
6:20 pm AndreaHart: @slhealy thats a good perspective to have! ProDev DOES NOT end after grad school and jobs that promote that are ones to seek out #sachat
6:20 pm lvanlysal: @jkilmer Since I won't b attending any conferences this yr I'll follow along w the hashtags, hopefully pick up some info/connections #sachat
6:20 pm ARL275: @bryan_koval do you file the penn state way? :) #sachat
6:21 pm kristendom: @lvanlysal Definitely finding more opportunities seek me out as I engage in more presentations and such #sachat
6:21 pm pereirap80: Trying to start some PD for my campus. @CampusEcology has some webinars on #sustainability & #highered #sachat We need to talk about it more
6:21 pm edcabellon: Another great form of PD is blogging. It allows great reflection and immediate sharing and feedback! #SAChat
6:21 pm AndreaHart: @lvanlysal me too about Spring conferences! I'm following all your hashtags :) #sachat
6:21 pm bryan_koval: @ARL275 If the Penn State Way includes giant piles of paper all over your desk, then yes. :) #sachat
6:22 pm debrasanborn: @ARL275 I file the Debra way. Which some would argue is not filing at all. #sachat
6:22 pm lvanlysal: some folks in our division are organizing a student affairs book club. I'm looking forward to that #sachat.
6:22 pm ARL275: @bryan_koval if that's true then i would fit right in at PSU! #sachat
6:22 pm NASPAtweets: Balancing Your Legacy: Motherhood and #StudentAffairs: #NASPA10 prog title reminded me of @DebraSanborn's balancing soccer and #sachat :)
6:22 pm jmayojr: @JenPaulin that is something I would like to start in my office. #sachat
6:22 pm slhealy: @EdCabellon Good to know (re: blogging), I'm just entering that world! #sachat
6:22 pm AndreaHart: @edcabellon good point about Blogging. I've asked this before but how do you all reflect after the sachat? #sachat
6:22 pm edcabellon: @jmayojr Very cool! You're a BSC Bear for life! #SAChat
6:22 pm jmayojr: RT @JenPaulin: @The_SA_Blog We do weekly article discussions as part of our staff mtg Topics range from trends - current cases/issues in higher ed #sachat
6:22 pm ARL275: @debrasanborn i call it organized chaos. it's a system! #sachat
6:22 pm pereirap80: @lvanlysal Thats a good idea to follow hastags if not attending the conference. #sachat
6:23 pm kristendom: RT @lvanlysal some folks in our division are organizing a student affairs book club. I'm looking forward to that #sachat. - love that idea!
6:23 pm bryan_koval: @lvanlysal #PCPA, the regional ACPA branch for PA has done a book club the past couple of summers. Response has been positive. #sachat
6:23 pm reyjunco: Twitter has definitely become a much more economical way to attend conferences in these tough financial times #sachat
6:23 pm AndreaHart: NOTHING wrong w/ org. chaos. Its the #studentaffairs way right? RT @ARL275: @debrasanborn i call it organized chaos. its a system! #sachat
6:23 pm shillis: RT@ARL275 @debrasanborn i call it organized chaos. it's a system! #sachat DITTO!
6:24 pm smmccracken: #sachat Sorry I'm late all! Shaun McCracken VCU 1st Year Performing Arts Advisor FINALLY taking part in a chat!
6:24 pm jmayojr: RT @bryan_koval: @lvanlysal #PCPA, the regional ACPA branch for PA has done a book club the past couple of summers. Response has been positive. #sachat
6:24 pm slhealy: Did anything ever come of the #sabookclub idea? #sachat
6:24 pm princeje: The story of my life, in two words. RT @ARL275: @debrasanborn i call it organized chaos. its a system! #sachat
6:24 pm lvanlysal: @pereirap80 I learned a lot following the #educause09 hashtag. A conference I would never get funding for, but good info. #sachat
6:25 pm lvanlysal: @bryan_koval Care to share the reading list? #sachat
6:25 pm DougS39: #sachat even if you are a veteran why won't conferences be fresh air, a break or a big idea summit? It should help yoru overall well-being
6:25 pm jmayojr: @bryan_koval and there are plans to continue #PCPA book club. Local orgs like #PCPA offer low cost opportunities #sachat
6:25 pm AndreaHart: @lvanlysal isn't #educause09 K-12? or does it include higher ed? #sachat
6:25 pm pereirap80: Do folks think presenters @ conferences are ready for audience members to be tweeting during their sessions? #sachat
6:26 pm kristendom: @DougS39 I think they're all those things - it's just hard to get funding to go for those reasons :) #sachat
6:26 pm lvanlysal: I like that idea - ongoing discussion, no meetings. RT @slhealy: Did anything ever come of the #sabookclub idea? #sachat
6:26 pm JenPaulin: @lvanlysal I think keys to successful pd include reflection and conversation. Reading and then breaking it down together is great! #sachat
6:26 pm AndreaHart: @pereirap80 I presented at NASPA last year, I was so nervous, I would not have noticed a brass band in my session... #sachat
6:26 pm bryan_koval: Twitter is my favorite self-directed PD, followed closely by for-credit coursework and being on the #PCPA exec board. #SAchat
6:26 pm princeje: @pereirap80 Just as ready as professors are for students tweeting during class. :) #sachat
6:27 pm edcabellon: @pereirap80 I do. I think its part of the "conference" culture now, especially when theyhave dedicated hashtags! #SAChat
6:27 pm lvanlysal: @AndreaHart I may have gotten the hashtag wrong, but Educause is focused on technology in higher education #sachat
6:27 pm JenPaulin: @pereirap80 No, I think that most will think the tweeters are bored or just being plain rude. #sachat
6:27 pm jmayojr: @pereirap80 I read once about a keynote speaker who became a trending topic at an IT conference because he was so bad #sachat
6:27 pm debrasanborn: @pereirap80 Doubt they are ready, particularly #studentaffairs conf, but they should be expecting. (Only 4 of us tweeted FYE in 09) #sachat
6:27 pm edcabellon: @AndreaHart I take the best ideas I took from the #SAchat and I write them down for convos with staff and possible future blogs! #SAChat
6:28 pm kristendom: @pereirap80 I think many presenters still don't know what Twitter is :) #sachat
6:28 pm pereirap80: Good point! RT @princeje: @pereirap80 Just as ready as professors are for students tweeting during class. :) #sachat
6:28 pm ARL275: RT @edcabellon I take the best ideas I took from the #SAchat and I write them down for convos with staff and possible future blogs! #sachat
6:28 pm GSEHD_HEA: RT @bryan_koval: Twitter is my favorite self-directed PD, followed closely by for-credit coursework and being on the #PCPA exec board. #SAchat
6:29 pm AndreaHart: @pereirap80 at Naspa 4-W this year, we had a hashtag designated but there were only about 3 or 4 of us who were using it. #sachat
6:29 pm lvanlysal: @jmayojr ha, yeah. that was #heweb09 in Milwaukee. Our university hosted it :) #sachat
6:29 pm chellrene: Internet is being wonky, so I can't follow #sachat today, but I am interested to see the conversation and suggestions on today's topic.
6:30 pm slhealy: @AndreaHart I think I was the only one using a hashtag for 4-E. :) #sachat
6:30 pm bryan_koval: @GSEHD_HEA Hey there #GWU! Please don't tell Rick he comes in 2nd behind Twitter. ;) #SAchat
6:30 pm JenPaulin: @jmayojr Some like it some don't (esp the one chosen to present), but I look at it as a PD version of mandatory fun. #sachat
6:30 pm shillis: we tried tweeting updates at #naca midatlantic this year. even the students weren't quite on board with that #sachat
6:30 pm edcabellon: Depends on the conference :-) RT @kristendom: @pereirap80 I think many presenters still don't know what Twitter is :) #sachat #SAChat
6:30 pm jmayojr: @lvanlysal ready or not, here it comes... we have to be prepared for tweeting at confs and in class it's going to happen #sachat
6:30 pm thestacyface: Ducking out of #sachat for a conduct meeting. Send good thoughts, please. Been dreading this one all day. #sachat
6:31 pm AndreaHart: @shillis the students here at u of new mexico aren't really on twitter at all actually. Facebook consumes them. #sachat
6:31 pm AndreaHart: @thestacyface sending GOOD VIBES. Have a better meeting this time round Stacy. #sachat
6:31 pm jkilmer: @pereirap80 swiftkick calls it back chat and it is gaining momentum. Twitter is not very different in practice or in use #sachat
6:31 pm DillyTalk: RT @pereirap80: Do folk think presenters @ confs rare ready 4 audience members to be tweeting during their sessions? #sachat Nope, not in UK
6:32 pm slhealy: @The_SA_Blog I'll be tweeting/blogging from OPE and TPE! #saplacement #sachat
6:32 pm princeje: The only issue I would have with people tweeting during my presentation is when it prevents them from interacting during the session #sachat
6:32 pm kristendom: Wondering if there's a way conference moderators can do more to engage attendees in Twitter? #sachat
6:32 pm reyjunco: @lvanlysal If I'm THAT boring, then my audience SHOULD be tweeting #sachat
6:32 pm bryan_koval: @AndreaHart That's the trend, really. Stats here - http://twurl.nl/uynh12 #sachat
6:33 pm Sir108: follow @the_SA_blog for #sachat updates.
6:33 pm pereirap80: RT @reyjunco: @lvanlysal If I'm THAT boring, then my audience SHOULD be tweeting #sachat
6:33 pm lvanlysal: International #sachat! Love it! RT @DillyTalk: RT @pereirap80: ready 4 audience members 2 b tweeting during their sessions?-Nope, not in UK
6:33 pm reyjunco: @princeje You are assuming that Tweeting = not interacting during your session. Some ppl have different ways of being present #sachat
6:33 pm bryan_koval: Do your programs have formalized PD expectations for student staff members? #SAchat
6:33 pm lvanlysal: @reyjunco ha, i wasn't tweeting out of boredom #sachat
6:34 pm Geralyn5: I think you need to prep yourself for it. even encourage tweeting during your presentations #sachat
6:34 pm jmayojr: RT @Sir108: follow @the_SA_blog for #sachat updates.
6:34 pm princeje: @reyjunco No, the only time I mind is when it prevents them from interacting, other wise I wouldn't mind. #sachat
6:35 pm slhealy: @bryan_koval My grad program has monthly PD sessions, Res Life also has a second monthly session for Housing Grad Assistants. #sachat
6:35 pm slhealy: @bryan_koval Undergrad students also get monthly student staff in-services. #sachat
6:35 pm jmayojr: @bryan_koval i think some institutions need formalized PD expectations for pro staff before we have them for students #sachat
6:35 pm lvanlysal: @bryan_koval Our only formality is if we use PD funds to go to an event, we need to report back to our staff/supervisor #sachat
6:35 pm shillis: @bryan_koval #sachat depends on the program. many of ours have intern/externships or practicum requirements
6:35 pm debrasanborn: @lvanlysal Agreed. I tweet when I want to share something. Informative or unusual. Or funny. #sachat
6:35 pm pereirap80: Do folks prefer general conferences (naspa, acpa) or more specific ones (naca, nod, acuho-i, etc)? #sachat
6:36 pm princeje: @bryan_koval We only have undergrads, so no. I would love some though. Since I'm interested in the field, I get more than the others #sachat
6:36 pm jkilmer: #sachat - could you not do an entire presentation via twitter? Discussions and questions just as we are having this chat?
6:36 pm AndreaHart: Here's a question for the group, aside from Twitter, where do you get most of your prof dev? #sachat
6:36 pm lynnellison: Tweeting during presentations could help the introverts in the room process the info and participate in the discussion. #sachat
6:36 pm ARL275: @debrasanborn me and @tomkrieglstein were the only ones at a recent #apca conf - twitter at conferences has some ground to cover yet #sachat
6:36 pm jmayojr: Listening to the Mary Poppins soundtrack while reading/tweeting the #sachat
6:37 pm ARL275: i want to try this! haven't found the right forum yet. RT @jkilmer: #sachat - could you not do an entire presentation via twitter? #sachat
6:37 pm AndreaHart: @jkilmer If the presenter was signed into Twitter, it could be a great way to have the audience provide questions/feedback instantly #sachat
6:37 pm bryan_koval: @pereirap80 The more specific the better. #sachat
6:37 pm slhealy: I'm interested if other schools allow PD funds to be used on placement conferences or just general conferences? #sachat
6:37 pm pereirap80: @AndreaHart PD sources for me: Articles, Conferences, & Blogging #sachat
6:37 pm lvanlysal: Our Division of Student Affairs is piloting a formal PD program for our student staff this semester. www.ppd.uwm.edu #sachat
6:37 pm jmayojr: The fun of a res lifer - turning in a CC recipet to the budget office for lube, lube, love dice and condoms #sachat
6:38 pm JenPaulin: @pereirap80 The specific ones relate more to my job, but the general ones give me better ideas for new initiatives. #sachat
6:38 pm lvanlysal: @pereirap80 I'd love a specific conference, but there's only one for my niche and it's always at a bad time - so general. #sachat
6:38 pm JenPaulin: @slhealy Just general conferences. Placement is out of pocket. #sachat
6:38 pm bryan_koval: @slhealy For PSU, you cannot use PD funds for placement. But, you don't have to take a vacation day either (at least for right now) #sachat
6:38 pm AndreaHart: @pereirap80 you work in activities right? Can you point me towards activities resources/blogs sometime? #sachat
6:38 pm shillis: @AndreaHart reading a lot! chatting with other pros, lunch with colleagues, keeping connections with previous places I've worked #sachat
6:38 pm princeje: @lynnellison As an person who's prone to introversion, I couldn't agree more! #sachat
