U97 on Tuesday: DL Work Time Available

I have reserved the time and space for the first in a series of U97 workshops this Tuesday and Thursday of next week, but I am quite sure no one has signed up. In light of this, I would like to offer Digital Leader work time and credit for anyone who wants to work on putting together an Institute Day session.

Please submit a comment below if you would like to attend on either day to build and fine-tune your session. The workshop is from 4:00-7:00 in the training lab. The series continues throughout the month of November and December..

Call for Presenters: Institute Day

Kevin Anderson has asked me to invite you to consider  presenting a tech session on Institute Day. There is a lot of expertise in this group and it would be great for you to share some of the things you are doing with the rest of the teaching staff. I am posting the request on his behalf because the blog seems like the most efficient way to get the word out. Here are the details...

Date: Nov. 24th
Session Length: 75 minutes
# Sessions: 1, can be repeated a second time
Compensation:: 2 hours paid planning time

Please consider presenting with another Digital Leader if the idea sounds better to you. A Google Doc has been linked below for collaboration, finding a co-teacher, asking questions, or declining. If you can't access the doc via the link, you will also find it in your list of Google Docs.

U97 Proposals Due on Friday, Oct. 8th

Just a reminder...

U97 course proposals are due on Friday October 8th. To receive a course proposal, please email Pat Williams.

There will be a couple of workshops about teaching a U97 class held at Brooks after school on Monday and Wednesday of next week. I will be going on Monday. Some Digital Leaders have expressed interest in collaborating to build some really great classes or workshops. There is a great deal of expertise in this group and I am excited by the possibilities!

If you are interested in collaborating, please let me know. In that case, there will be some work to do next week. I am happy to schedule a group  meeting any day after school, or I can also visit you during the school day. Here is what my schedule looks like.
