We also have two guest speakers this month from a distance education project:
Speakers: Edee Wiziecki, Co Principal Investigator of ICLCS George Estes, Lead Tech for the ICLCS project The Institute for Chemistry Literacy and Computational Science (ICLCS) http://iclcs.uiuc.edu The ICLCS is funded through an NSF Math Science Partnership grant and is a program of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with our 100+ K-12 partners, Regional Office of Education #38, and A-C Central School District. The Institute seeks to prepare rural Illinois chemistry teachers for the 21st Century through content, computational tools and teaching methodology, and leadership development. As part of the program the Institute will be placing up to 120 PIGs in K-12 schools to further teacher development in rural Illinois. The Institute has also installed Access Grid nodes in 4 Regional Offices of Education across the state. =============================================================================== AG3 Users From the Lobby of the vv3 server (https://vv3.mcs.anl.gov:8000/Venues/default) enter the Institution Lobby, then Government Institutions, then Argonne National Laboratory.
