The location for the 2009 Technology Fair is:
Mulholland Middle School, San Fernando Valley

Register here: http://www.cuehub.org/cuela

Participants will learn valuable, up-to-date curricular approaches and technology processes to bring back to their school or educational office through numerous hands-on and demonstration session

All staff at each school in our local district should update their EdTech profiles at http://edtechprofile.org. If the principal at your school would like to designate someone to be the administrator for your school, please have him/her send me an email with that person’s name. An administrator of the school’s edtech profile information can send staff their log in information and gather data from the survey.

*** This year, students in grades 5, 8 and 11 will also be required to take the EdTech survey.  The Memo will be available soon. If you have an EdTech site administrator at your school, he/she can create the student accounts.  If you don’t have a designated administrator, contact me and I will assist you with the creation of the accounts.

A free webseminar is scheduled for Thursday, October 8, at 2 p.m. Eastern time.

Concerns about the H1N1 flu virus causing school closings or significant absences are pushing schools to use technology more heavily in their day-to-day activities and prompting them to look at creative ways of ensuring continuity of learning. Some schools with e-learning tools or programs already in place are expanding or speeding up their use. Such tactics are also being considered for use when hurricanes, snow, or other situations prompt school closings.
