[il-talk] Tomorrow, at 7, Spring Seminar Planning Teleconference

Mon Jan 12 21:11:46 UTC 2015

Hi everyone, this is not an agenda for tonight's meeting, but will be an
outline for what we talk about. it's the outline of the Seminar Agenda
itself.
Mostly what we need to do tonight is confirm who is handling which
segments, and then you guys and your groups can start constructing your
presentations (or other projects, whatever they be).
I hope to talk to you guys tonight.

thanks

PRE-SEMINAR PROMOTION:

       Each state’s leaders need to send out “save the Date”’s

       Facebook/twitter pre-seminar outreach (finding students)

              Fb event page (Glenn)

       Tap our networks of contacts to get word out (anyone please help out
with this, direct students to the NFBI website and FB event page)

       Contact schools’ disability departments (Debbie S has a list Glenn
and Bree will divvy up)

THEME:

Raising the Bar

LOGISTICS/GENERAL:

       Chicago Mariott Midway 6520 S cicero Ave, chicago

       Freedom-Link kids and mentors[?] arrive Friday Night

       Sat. April 18. (17th for teachers)

       One room (for Students)

       Student approved $500 budget. IABS is comping only those actually
planning and presenting in student seminar.

       Last year we had 9 program items from 9am to 5pm (w/o registration
lunch, feedback) so 10 items is a good round number.

       30 - 45 minutes each, roughly

POSSIBILITIES:

Jacob Ayers 3d printing?

Art component?

Brett Wolf Judo?

Judy Byrd beep kickball

NABS Rep—Candace Chapman??

Jordyn Castor will have her own segment (technology?)

Possibly ‘student choice’ topic (Glenn n Bree would work on that)

Help out with kids kamp’s song/presentation at end.

*WORKING AGENDA (10 ITEMS GOAL):*

NOTE: this need not be the time-order of the agenda

       8a -XX    Registration

       1     (Glenn will ask Patti, Denise or another NFBI leader for)

NFB introduction…IABS intro (by an IABS leader)

Also good time to intro NABS by rep, and segue into Seminar.

       2     Keynote Speaker, (maybe before lunch is best)

Natalie Shaheen: first half, her story, then Q&A (so topic may move in
different places)

       3     NABS Rep talk

       4 *Jordyn Castor *Presentation (tech?)

       5*     Bree:* Social-Networking event

              Best Friday/Saturday out-of-session time (kindof an
extra-curricular

event about extra-cirricular student activity)

              *James *also was going to do a social networking topic (they
can collaborate, then, and Bree won’t be able to be present at the Seminar)

*       6     Glenn--Online education and testing (note Blackboard and Khan
Academy, GRE, LSAT) (Jordyn Castor also tech) (if time is not permitting, I
may scrap this, so other speakers get to talk on their topic)*

       7     PANEL ‘the old College Try’ (just a working title) making
college real for those who may not be sure they can go or succeed.

       I think it works if each panelist prepares some info about one
‘step’ in the college process (career direction/deciding to go to college,
selecting colleges and getting in,  financing, finding accommodation
resources, etc.)

       Nadia—this was the topic she originally was on.

       James Hunt—disabled student services and coming together with other
blind students on campus.

       James also suggested something to do with social problem-solving to
talk about (like what to do if you feel harassed on campus?)

       Panel timed to break up a potential ‘talking heads’ marathon

       8     Sarah Meyer: Work after college (originally was panel topic)

       9 Judy Byrd Beep Kickball

Setup for judy and Brett at lunch?

       10 Brett Wolf Judo [?] (should be separate time to break up speaking
marathons)

       +   Glenn (and anyone, feel free to send me suggestions): Exit
Evaluations/Suggestions (Originally, I wanted a ‘choose your topic’ thing
to build buzz, but for eval. We could include a similar thing to include a
segment in next year’s seminar, or a a post-seminar discussion picked up on
IABS-Talk, to keep people involved)
