Subject: [ClassWeb] Teacher's Forms & Templates Virtual Field Trip
Happy Summer!
We've just posted a new virtual field trip that you may want to add to
your bag of tricks for the coming school year.
Teacher's Forms & Templates Field Trip
Go to: www.field-trips.org
and click on Featured Field Trip
This field trip was inspired by and created from an article written by
Linda Starr, featured in Education World®, 10/17/2001, © 2001 Education
World.
When I read the article, all I kept thinking was what a wonderful
resource tool it would be in the form of a virtual field trip.
DESCRIPTION: In this virtual field trip, you will find the best sources
for often-used and hard-to-find printable teacher templates, such as
welcome letters to parents, seating charts, award certificates, blank
country & state maps, hall passes, student progress updates, substitute
teacher resources, flash cards, and so much more! All in one neat,
organized package.
I've also added a Permission Slip for virtual field trips.
This form will work for any virtual field trip
on the Web, not just the trips at our site. It's a nice way to inform
parents about their child's online explorations and perhaps invite them
to co-explore with their child at home.
You are more than welcome to print and use this for your classes. It's a
pdf file and you can get it at: http://www.field-trips.org/trips.htm (If
you don't have Acrobat Reader, there's a handy link to download that as
well.)
Sincerely,
Kim

Subject: Congress in the Classroom Online
From: Cindy Koeppel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Dear list members,
For more than 10 years, The Dirksen Congressional Center has offered an
award-winning summer workshop for teachers called Congress in the
Classroom(r). The Center will be soon offering an alternative --
Congress in
the Classroom(r) Online. This online workshop will provide the same rich
content about Congress presented by experts; content that we invite to
be
used and adapted for classrooms. Of course we can't replicate the
face-to-face energy of the workshop, but participants will have the
chance
to interact with colleagues from across the country through message
boards
and e-mail. We intend for the online workshop to deliver useful
information
to more teachers than we could possibly reach in our current workshop.
Congress in the Classroom(r) Online will be organized as a series of
separate
but related topical units. They will be loosely grouped around the twin
themes of representation and lawmaking, two primary roles of members of
Congress. While offering this online workshop, The Center is interested
in
receiving accreditation for this course. Can anyone provide any
guidance on
this can be achieved?
The Center hopes to kick-off this program in the fall, but would like to
seek accreditation first.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Sincerely,
Cindy Koeppel
The Dirksen Congressional Center

Subject: The FCC kicked off *Get Connected: Afford-A-Phone Public
Education Campaign
Some Americans see phone service as a luxury they cannot afford. The
FCC
wants consumers to know that there are programs available to help low
income
households have access to a phone.
The FCC kicked off *Get Connected: Afford-A-Phone,* a national public
education campaign to inform income eligible consumers about the
Lifeline
Assistance Program (Lifeline) and Link-Up America (Link-Up).
The Lifeline and Link-Up programs provide discounts on initial telephone
installation and basic monthly telephone service to qualifying
low-income consumers.
The FCC*s *Get Connected: Afford-A-Phone* campaign is providing
information
to potential Lifeline and Link-Up subscribers through federal, state,
tribal
and local governments, social service, community, and faith-based
organizations. Low-income consumers are encouraged to contact their
local
phone companies to see if they are eligible to receive Lifeline and
Link-Up
discounts. Consumer questions can be directed to the FCC by writing Get
Connected: Afford-A-Phone, FCC, Washington, DC 20554, calling
1-888-CALL-FCC
(1-888-225-5322)-voice, 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-835-5322)-TTY, or visiting
the
Get Connected: Afford-A-Phone Web site at

Subject: Re: School library day
International School Libraries Day is October 28 this year - the 4th
Monday in the month. The theme
is 021.7 Library MATTERS and participants are being encouraged to share
the things that they do to
promote the integration of their library's services into the school
curriculum. (021.7 is the Dewey
number for library promotion) Schools will also be encouraged to
continue their plantings for the
Growing the Future project begun last year.
I will be promoting this more in August-September as northern hemisphere
schools return and start to
think about the new school year.
In the meantime please visit http://www.iasl-slo.org and follow the
links to ISLD for further ideas.
