Hello,
This coming week, my goal is to have live chats with as many class participants as possible. Live communication is different from forums and email. People feel closer when they talk live.
Especially when starting in a new profession, it's crucial to network with colleagues LIVE - by voice if possible, or at least by text chat. Invitations to jobs, projects, collaborations, grants and the like are very heavily influenced by whether the person making the decision has heard your voice! This is one reason live conferences aren't becoming obsolete.
You can choose these scheduled events, OR make an appointment with me for a brief chat at another time during this week. I highly recommend John Mason's event on Wednesday. John is one of my math ed (or "maths" since he's from UK!) heroes, because of respectful, deep and meaningful professional development work he is doing in teacher communities, and describing in excellent books. The topic of the event is multiplication, a key area of elementary mathematics.
Monday 20th 3:30pm or Thursday 23rd 8pm ET

Hello Professor Droujkova,
I don't think I'll be able to make any of those times. Could I just schedule an appointment with you individually? I'm free tomorrow from 2:15 to 5:45 pm, if you're available. Thanks!

You can call me Maria - it's an open course and everything... Also, it's easier to pronounce!
Collins, Carolyn

Professor,
I was wondering if I could join your meeting tomorrow with Laura. If you wanted to do the meetings on more of an individual basis that is fine, I will just then need to schedule a meeting time with you also.
Thanks,
Carolyn Collins
