- Hi Christi - Hope your summer is going well! I wanted to update you on our free webinars and hope you can join us for one of them soon. Maybe we can get you to do one too - interested?
In any case, we've had three Tech Talks so far - one on Interactive Notebooks, Moodle, and Digital Storytelling. You can get to the recordings of those by clicking on the Web Archive link.
You can see all our upcoming events by clicking on the Events tab. The next TechTalk topic is Using Wikis. We've got lots more topics to cover in the next few months - technology, pedagogy, content knowledge, all sorts of fun stuff! Any ideas on additional topics or feedback you have would be greatly appreciated! Kim

Mary Henton said… - Hi, Christi,
Welcome!
Would you be willing to share a little bit about your work with middle school teachers? Do they come to the observatory for staff development? for curriculum development? to participate in research? Can you share a an example or story about something a teacher has done as a result of engagement with the observatory?
