An iPhone Relationship

August 12, 2009, the professional development was a fortune telling activity where the faculty reflected on past achievements and then created future achievements they were looking forward to seeing in the year to come. I think the final part of the activity went well. The faculty came up with some good ideas on how to make the activity work for them, including using it to build team and individual student goals. The beginning of the activity, had me coming out in a poorly masked parody of Professor Trelawney which seemed to get some guffaws. I wonder now if the good humored motivational bit lined up more with Michael Scott from The Office. What actually can be used in humor while still maintaining the integrity of the activity? Deffinately it should tie togther, but if the fun motivational bit ends up falling flat then what you've got is a yokel making nonsense up front while the rest of the group are avidly watching whether or not the DVD screensavor will actually hit the corner of the television screen this time.
