UEN Update - Karen Krier > Today from 3:30-6:30 pm > Free stuff from many organizations like Clark Planetarium, Aquarium, and UEN. > We are in the process of rewriting the NetSafe Utah grant for the coming year. One change is that we'll be adding Spanish versions of the NetSafe Utah videos. Can the C Forum group recommend other things that would help them do NetSafe training in their schools? Would a collection of premade PowerPoints and handouts be useful? Anything else? > Katie will likely have something to demonstrate at the December C Forum, and we'll work on creating handouts. You may want to be thinking of adding that to your training circuit esp. with Pioneer workshops scheduled after the new year. > @http://www.utfll.utah.edu/ > @http://www.utfll.utah.edu/volunteers.html > UEN be doing an online trial of a new product from Espresso/Defined Learning from mid November through mid January. This is a preschool/early grade learning site with video, interactives, etc. The Defined Learning people will be hosting a webinar in November, look for email about that. There will be an online survey for educators/reviewers to tell us what they think. Watch for that and tell elementary teachers, librarians, curriculum and reading specialists so we have a broad evaluation.
