What's New
The MLTI/eMINTS project is now moving into a new phase after the initial 2-year Comprehensive eMINTS Model span.
Teachers who have met the requirements have been awarded Certificates of Achievement and have become official eMINTS teachers. Congratulations!
This however valuable an accomplishment, is not the only outcome. In fact, the accompanying outcomes are by far more important. Teachers have built a great community, shared ideas, initiated projects with their students, spread knowledge in their schools, improved teaching techniques, and much more.
If you think your students and your teachers will benefit from a similar professional development model, please contact Olga LaPlante, the eMINTS certified trainer for Cumberland County.
If you are considering classroom technology purchases, you might find some insight into how to make most of your budget, as well as training in interactive whiteboards (SMARTBoard) and the accompanying software.
Please look at the comprehensive yet customizable list of topics.
May we suggest...
- A whole suite of online office applications - accessible from anywhere (with the internet connection), and offers so much more than a traditional office - free! Try Zoho Office.
- wiki: try this to post your curriculum or have a project with your students. Collaborate on vacation, in the classroom or wherever you are;
- Google Reader: personalize your iGoogle page to keep up with what others are writing in their blogs. This RSS feed reader is very friendly and will be available offline as well;
- social bookmarking: del.icio.us - talk to your colleagues about doing just half the job - you will save bookmarks for them and they will save bookmarks for you. Interested what it looks like? Add me to your network!
