Today as part of the Jazz workshop, the participants are doing exchanges with each other. We featured Community Exchange (based on Michigan Week Exchange), Read Around the Planet, Monster Exchange and Science Exchange. The Science Exchange was my favorite today. Our teachers were matched up with El Paso, TX. The Texas teachers did a presentation [...]

This summer I’m starting a PhD in Leadership from Andrews University. As part of my studies, I’ll be writing a literature review, and I thought that you might like to be part of the process. As you can guess, I’ll be reading about videoconferencing, specifically VC in education and VC in K12 education. I have [...]
