I think that already been tested means having an been assessed,(IQ and Achievement) not nescesicarily by Dr. R.

Yes, Grinity is correct. The beta testers will be for those for whom already have some standardized or IQ result.

onthegomom -- The tool itself is being verified; hence an ability range of beta testers would be something that would be considered in selecting a particular tester. Once, the tool becomes available it will be inexpensive.

Dr. Ruf's free Webinar on Oct. 8 http://www.giftedonlineconferences.com/ is available to everyone, not just OGTOC members, and Dr. Ruf explains what to expect in the second quote below:

Dear OGTOC List Members,
Please invite anyone you feel would have an interest in attending Dr. Ruf's webinar. Attendees need not be current OGTOC list members.
Certainly it would be wonderful if they did join the 24/7 social network of Our Gifted Online Conferences: A Gathering Place for All Things Gifted

Kind regards,
Sally_L Conference Coordinator, Admin, & Owner

A message to all members of Gifted - OGTOC

My newly re-titled book has been re-titled to be more reflective of what is in the book. There are absolutely no changes to content. What a participant to the Webinar would discover is answers to what do more current test results mean (e.g., WISC-IV compared to WISC-III), what about learning disabilities, poor testing, age ranges at testing, etc. mean? I didn't discuss those issues in the book and many people have asked about them since its publication. Participants would also get to ask the "What if?" questions that simply can't always be addressed in a book for a wider audience. I have several summary articles, too, that participants will have available to them , including all of the detailed earlier developmental milestones and what each Level needs. Because the book came out four years ago, I've learned that there are many people who have lots of questions about this or that and they are easier to answer on a case-by-case basis. I've also continued to nip and tuck at the meaning of the Levels as I experience and learn more myself through my clientele, the development of the children from the book since then, etc.

(i) For those who are keeping track of Dr. Ruf’s beta testing: Her team is moving closer to being ready for the volunteers. At first there will be only a few for each level. It is expected that the number of volunteers will increase as the beta testing progresses.

(ii) Last week’s Webinar at OGTOC was well attended. However, a copy of the Webinar was not successfully created. Presently there is no additional Webinar planned.

Hi -

I registered, but did not attend. Does that mean there is no recorded version to go back to?

Thanks.

EW

note: I have not had a chance to email the organizers, so I am asking here. Thanks in advance

Apparently so, EW. I was on-line but only able to be there for a few minutes at a time and was counting on the recorded version too.

On the webinar page there is a power point presentation that you can download. Without the transcript, some of it isn't really clear, but most of it is pretty informative. I'm also disappointed that the transcript wasn't able to be created, since I wasn't able to attend live!
