CTAP Academies
CTAP 11, part of the Los Angeles County Office of Education, would like to announce a collaborative effort with LAUSD in hosting CTAP Technology Academies for the 2008-2009 Academic Year at locations across the District. Level 1 Personal Proficiency and Level 2 Technology Integration Academies as well as one session of the new iTELL Academy (integrating Technology for English Language Learners) are being offered.
Participants must be full-time LAUSD teachers or administrators and must be off-track (or on vacation) in order to attend.. There will be no provision for allowing attendees who are currently on-track or working regular time. Participants will receive free registration, course materials, a flash drive and $400.00 compensation upon completion of the Academy. Level 2 Academy participants are eligible to receive 2 salary points. Level 1 and Level 2 participants have the option of purchasing Continuing Education Units from USC.

2008 California School Technology Survey
The window for completion of the 2008 California Technology Survey is January 24, 2008, through March 14, 2008. The last day to complete the survey to meet the technology survey requirements of the Enhancing Education Through Technology Formula and Competitive grants is Friday, March 14, 2008. Because of these requirements, LD4 is asking for the survey to be completed by Friday, February 29, 2008 in order to avoid technical pitfalls that may hamper the ability to meet the CDE deadline. The link to the survey is http://www3.cde.ca.gov/techsurvey/default.aspx.
InfoTech
InfoTech 2008 is just around the corner. If you have students and/or teachers that would like to showcase their work at this conference, please let me know. I am looking for at least 10 participants. It could be as simple as a Power Point Presentation or websites created by students. This is your opportunity to show off and share with others what your school is doing with technology. Visit http://infotech.lausd.net/ for more information. A flyer for your school is included in your packet.
Funding Opportunities/EdTech Profile:
Enclosed in your packet is a CTAP 11 Technology Funding Alert from the Los Angeles County Office of Education. The document lists funding sources and contests your school can apply for. As a reminder, have your staff complete the EdTech Profile assessment at www.edtechprofile.org . This is an annual survey that teachers need to complete. If you would like to use the EdTech Profile data for any of these grant opportunities, contact me and I will print out your data.
