Great opportunity from Google Earth

Greetings Teachers,

We hope this newsletter finds you feeling jolly as you prepare for the upcoming holiday break. But, before you leave your classrooms, we wanted to share a couple of special programs we think you and your students will really enjoy:

First up, the Google Earth and SketchUp teams are excited to announce the first-ever Google K-12 curriculum competition for educators in the US! Launched November 12th in conjunction with the new Ancient Rome 3D layer in Google Earth, the competition brings together a thrilling new feature in Google Earth with your imagination and teaching expertise! A joint effort between Google, the Rome Reborn Project, and Past Perfect Productions, the new Ancient Rome 3D Layer in Google Earth allows users to view and explore over 6700 3D buildings as scholars determine they stood in 320 AD. If you ever dreamed of walking along the same streets as Constantine or gazing up at the Coliseum as it stood in ancient times, you'll be amazed at what you can experience behind your keyboard! The curriculum competition is a chance for you to gain recognition (and a fabulous prize package!) by reconfiguring new or time-tested curricula using the new technology. All grade levels and subject matter are accepted, and any electronic file format is welcome. Be sure to visit our blog post for more information. Visit earth.google.com/romecontest for competition details, frequently asked questions, and registration links. The competition deadline is February 9, 2009, so get those creative juices flowing now!

And for children of all ages - naughty or nice, here at Google, we're keeping our eyes on the sky in search of a jingling sleigh led by reindeer and carrying scads of presents, and a man in a big, red suit. But we're making it easier for you to find Jolly Ole St. Nick by once again partnering with NORAD on the 2008 NORAD Tracks Santa website. From now until Christmas eve, you can read about the history of the Santa Tracker, see a countdown to take-off, view updates from Santa's Village, and play holiday-themed games – a new one released each day – at the Kids Countdown link. The fun really begins on December 24th when at 3am PST, Santa lifts off into the northern sky to begin his trek around the globe. NORAD tracks his progress in real time, marking his stops and his current location in Google Maps, Google Earth, and Google Maps for Mobile. In addition, strategically-placed Santa Cams feed videos of his flight to YouTube and to the NORAD Tracks Santa video page.

Visit www.google.com/educators for more information about these and our other programs. And be sure to stay tuned for the exciting projects we have in store for you in 2009.

Until then, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

Warm Regards,
Cristin Frodella

Speak Up 2008

Subject: Your invitation to participate in Speak Up 2008



Hello:

Speak Up about 21st Century Education!


With a new President and a new Congress in Washington and many new Governors around the country, this is a critically important time for you, your students, and their parents to have a voice in the new education policies, programs, and funding.

I would like to personally invite your school or district to be part of the Speak Up online research project and have your voices heard on the future of American education.

Each fall Project Tomorrow, the nation's leading nonprofit group supporting student voices in education, facilitates the national Speak Up project to collect and report on the authentic, unfiltered viewpoints of K-12 students, teachers, parents, and administrators. We present the national data findings to Congress and the US Department of Education each Spring, and all participating schools and districts get access to their own data for planning and budgeting purposes.

Since fall 2003, over 1.2 million students, teachers, parents, and administrators have participated in the annual Speak Up surveys and the data findings regularly impact federal, state, and local policies, programs, and funding for education. We hope that you will join this national project and provide input in shaping a new direction for American education in the 21st century.

The Speak Up 2008 online surveys are now open for input. To learn more about how your school can participate in Speak Up, click here or contact Amanda Wortman at speakup@tomorrow.org, 949-609-4660 x12.

Election Day PD Run-Down

Hi All --

Here is the scoop for what's happening on the Election Day Professional Development Day.

All districts are invited to IS 228 K,

228 AVENUE S, BROOKLYN NY, 11223 (between W4th and W5th) for a joint election day PD.

We will be running two sessions (and the Renzulli session that some of you are involved in will be running concurrently and is required for those participating in that program)

The sessions are:

GOOGLE DOCS INSTITUTE -- Learn to use this powerful online collaborative took to create projects in your classroom that take learning beyond the four walls of your classroom at the same time as it empowers students to truly collaborate on classroom projects and homework. Participants will learn how to use Google Docs, how to design learning activities around the tool, and how to manage this virtual classroom.

DESIGNING A CLASSROOM PROJECT WITH SOCIAL MEDIA -- Learn how today's YouTube generation is making their mark on the digital world and how you can leverage social media to create an authentic audience for your student's projects. Participants will learn how to use ubiquitous media capture devices with Windows Movie Maker and iMovie to create digital media as instructional learning modules.

For some of you this may be a revisit to using these powerful tools but our experience and strategies for implementation have developed so much we think you'll find the sessions useful.

What's new?

For the Google Docs, we will show you better examples of integration, new ways to create student accounts (and overcome the email issue -- bring your roster), and engaging hands on group activities to really drive home the point.

For the Digital Media, we will introduce the impact social media is having on education and how to use just about any video capture device to make this a reality in your classroom.

We look forward to sharing our excitement and continuing the journey to becoming experts at integrating the best ideas in instructional technology with you.

Agenda

Election Day PD

Hi All -- if you're planning on attending the election day PD, please register at https://www.protraxx.com/scripts/ezcatalogny/ViewClass.aspx?ID=134268&CustomerID=77 so we can get an idea of how many we're planning for.

NSBA Announces “20 to Watch” as Leaders in Education Technology: Celine Azoulay selected

NSBA Announces “20 to Watch” as Leaders in Education Technology
Alexandria, VA - Sept. 29, 2008 - The National School Boards Association’s Technology Leadership Network (TLN) has announced its annual list identifying 20 emerging leaders in education technology. These individuals are recognized for championing technology initiatives that make a difference for students, teachers, school districts, and the greater education technology community.
A nationwide search was conducted to identify individuals who reflect the spirit of creativity and collaboration that embraces the power of technology to enhance learning for students, inspire colleagues, transform operations, and engage communities.
“Innovation in K-12 technology is the result of educators with the vision, passion, and natural curiosity to explore new tools and teaching strategies that transforms teaching and learning,” said Ann Flynn, director of education technology for NSBA. “Today, the exceptional accomplishments of these 20 individuals help us define our expectations for the role technology can play in the future. We hope this program inspires other educators to follow their lead and provides policy makers and school leaders with the insight they need to further support future innovation.” The 20 technology leaders will be recognized at NSBA’s annual technology and learning conference, T+L, which will take place Oct. 28-30, 2008 in Seattle. They will also be showcased in future NSBA education technology publications. For more information, please visit http://www.nsba.org/t+l/.
The 2008 “20 to Watch” are:
Celine Azoulay, Borough Instructional Technology Director, Staten Island, New York City Schools (NY)
Celine Azoulay is recognized for her vision to introduce colleagues to powerful teaching strategies that are coupled with state-of-the-art technology to improve student achievement levels. Within the New York City public school system, Celine utilized her expertise in mathematics and background in teaching, professional development, and instructional technology to oversee the introduction of Tabula Digita’s DimensionM™, an immersive educational video game, into the district’s middle school math initiative.
