Art Skerker graciously provides each of the RESCs a monthly update. Following are the items in Art's March update, some of which act as reminders for information I have already sent in previous communications:
- $5M in Infrastructure bond funds was originally allocated for July 1, 2006, RFPs were read and scored in May 2007. CSDE has again requested that these funds be placed on the next Bond Commission's agenda. Check Art's blog for updates.
- EETT Local Competitive proposals which will provide funds for development of assured experiences that integrate technology/21st. Century Skills in the curriculum are due @ CSDE on or before April 11, 2008. Individual grant awards are up to $65K (~$750K - total funds available).
- Summer workshops for teacher evaluators available at each RESC and at CAS. The four hour sessions (in some cases two, two hr sessions) will familiarize administrators with exactly what good technology integration looks like. Administrators will have an opportunity to practice using Intel's Leadership Forum online tools.
- Did you know that you can easily download files (in Flash Video, or FLV, format) from TeacherTube? Wonderful free videos are available in a variety of subject areas and can either be viewed independently with an FLV player (included in the table below) or may be converted into QuickTime or Windows Media player files.
