I. SUMMER MONTHS PROVIDE NO REST FOR THE WARY II. FOUR ESSENTIAL RESOURCES AT YOUR FINGERTIPS III. KEEP YOUR STAFF’S SKILL UP-TO-DATE ----------------------------------------------------------- I. SUMMER MONTHS PROVIDE NO REST FOR THE WARY ----------------------------------------------------------- Summer is fast approaching, and although the temptation to forget about grants for a month or two is powerful—don’t do it! There are generally few federal and state grant deadlines during the summer months (government employees often are on vacation during this time), but this doesn’t mean you should forget about grant-seeking. In fact, summer is an excellent time to take stock of the past school year and plan ahead for the upcoming year. Look at the state and federal grant deadlines during the past school year and make a calendar of potential deadlines for the coming year. Remember that in most cases, long-standing grant programs keep the same proposal application deadlines from year to year. Expect that deadlines will fall roughly in the same week they occurred during the prior year.

KEEP YOUR STAFF’S SKILL UP-TO-DATE ----------------------------------------------------------- Ohio’s teachers are getting a helping hand as they enter the brave new world of teaching with technology. This web site for a statewide initiative dubbed "Technopoli" is helping educators in the Buckeye State find the training they need to use technology effectively in the classroom. The site provides a great model for other states to follow. The Ohio Learning Network built the Technopoli web site to help educators and technical staff overcome the challenge of keeping up with new learning technologies, including research about what works and what doesn’t. Technopoli provides a central resource for educators to find the professional development opportunities they need without wasting valuable time. The site’s "Get Updates" feature is a particular time-saver. Users simply fill out a profile outlining their interests and training needs, and each week they automatically receive an eMail update listing opportunities in the site’s calendar of events that match their needs. http://www.technopoli.org ******************************************* For digest instead of individual postings, send the message: set k12newsletters digest to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe, click and send (no body or subject: required) mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] K12 Newsletters mailing list is a service of Classroom Connect - http://www.classroom.com Archives for K12 Newsletters can be found at: http://www.classroom.com/community/email/archives.jhtml?A0=K12NEWSLETTERS **********************************************************
