Wk 4.Presentation of AR Project at FEMEA Summer Conference, Aug. 7, 2010

 I am going to share my Action Research project in another week, lots of work to do, getting handouts ready, movie on the computer, board, etc.

The Florida Elementary Music Educators Association Summer Conference is going to be held in Jacksonville, FL on August 7, 2010 and I will set up a "science board" by the registration table and do it at the beginning of the conference.  I was going to do it during the Lunch time, but we decided I could choose either time, or at the end, and feel this is a more effective time as people come in over a longer period of time, as I will go when we set up and will be there as they trickle in, eat food, visit, etc.

I would be there then, anyway, as one thing I've learned as being a board member, when you go off the board, you aren't really off.  Especially when you were on it for 11 years!  Whew!  So, I would be there anyway, helping set up, and this way, I'll help some, and be at the table, by registration table and share with them as they come in.  There will be some new teachers there, as we always invite new teachers to come free of charge, just so they can find our organization and get to know us and see how valuable it is to be a part of your professional organization.   We are a part of FMEA, which is a part of MENC, which is the National Organization for Music Educators of all kinds, band, orchestra, vocal, elementary, jazz, guitar, recorder, Orff, Kodaly, Dalcroze and more.

I'm a member of AOSA (Orff), The Recorder Association, and the Research Group of the Orff Association. But even those are associate members of MENC.
