Hello,
My name is Kristen I live outside of Niagara Falls NY and
I am helping my daughter's 3rd grade teacher organize a
project. I am in need of willing participants. The project
will consist of each participating class to make 16 paper
gingerbread men, depicting facts about the area or state
that you live in. I will include a link at the end of this
email to a site that I got this idea from. This shows
examples of gingerbread men they had received while doing a
similar project. Then those 16 will be sent out, one to
each of the participating schools from all around the
country. This will teach the students many different skills
including geography, map skills, writing and social studies.
A bulletin board can be made with a map and when the
gingerbread men are received, a map marker can be placed
from that school. We will need 17 schools to participate,
since you wouldn't send one to your own school. The
students can brainstorm, research, and create the
gingerbread men individually or as a group. If you are
interested all I will need from you is your school address,
and your name, so that I can give a list of class names to
all participants. If you are not interested, please share
this idea with another third grade teacher. I would like to
get this project started right after Thanksgiving, so that
the gingerbread men can be mailed out by December 10th. If
you are interested please email me back by November 12th.
This will allow for other classes to be contacted if you
cannot participate. Here is the link to the similar project
to give you a better idea.

Dear teachers:
If you are a K-12 teacher in the United States, you are
invited to participate in a study titled “Teacher Perception
of Technology Integration in the Workplace: A National
Study.” If you teach in a teacher education program, please
feel free to forward this invitation to any graduates that
you think might be interested in participating in this
study. If you already filled out the survey, thanks for your
assistance and please dismiss this message.
Purpose of the Study: The purpose of the study is to
investigate teachers’ perceptions of technology integration
in the workplace as it relates to their self-confidence in
computer use, their preparation in formal and informal
technology courses in teacher education programs from which
they have graduated, and administrative and technical
support in their workplace.
Benefits: The findings could be used by teacher educators to
revise technology courses and by K-12 school administrators
to reconsider necessary support of technology integration
for teachers’ practices. The benefits to you in
participating in the study are receiving a copy of a summary
of the study results.
Procedures to be Followed: You as a teacher are invited to
participate in the study by completing a web-based survey.
You will also be asked about your willingness to participate
in a possible telephone interview. You do not have to agree
to being interviewed in order to complete the survey.
If interviewed, you will be asked more detailed questions
about your opinion on the type of experiences you had
regarding technology integration during your teacher
preparation program, whether you feel that you were
adequately prepared, how you have used technology in your
classroom, and your perception of the administrative and
technical support that you have at your school.
Duration: The survey will take approximately 20 minutes of
your time. The interview, if conducted, will take
approximately 30 minutes.
Risks: There are no risks in participating in this study
beyond those experienced in everyday life.
Compensation: There is no compensation for participating in
this study.
Voluntary Participation/Alternative: Your participation in
this project is voluntary. You have the right to withdraw at
any time. You do not have to answer any questions you do not
want to answer. The alternative is not to participate.
Statement of Confidentiality: Your responses will be
confidential to ensure that they cannot be linked to you
personally. Any personal information you provide that is
linked to your name will be held in strict confidence when
the data are presented in a written report.
Right to Ask Questions: If you have any questions, now or
later, you may contact us at the numbers below. If you have
any questions about your rights as a human subject, please
contact the University of South Dakota Institutional Review
Board at 605-677-6184.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Congress in the Classroom® 2005
DEADLINE: March 15, 2005
Congress in the Classroom® is a national, award-winning
education program now in its 13th year. Sponsored by The
Dirksen Congressional Center, the workshop is dedicated to
the exchange of ideas and information on teaching about
Congress.
Congress in the Classroom® is designed for high school
teachers who teach U.S. history, government, civics,
political science, or social studies. Forty teachers from
throughout the country will be selected in 2005 to take
part in the program.
You will gain experience with The Center's educational Web
site, CongressLink - [link removed].
Throughout the program you will work with national experts
as well as colleagues from across the nation. This
combination of firsthand knowledge and peer-to-peer
interaction will give you new ideas, materials, and a
professionally enriching experience.
In sum, the workshop consists of two types of sessions:
those that focus on recent research and scholarship about
Congress (and don't always have an immediate application in
the classroom) and those geared to specific ways to teach
students about Congress.
The 2005 program theme will be "Our New Congress -- the
109th." Confirmed session titles are:
* A View from Capitol Hill
* The Importance of Teaching Democracy Appreciation
* George W. Bush's Second Term: What's in Store for
Congress?
* Congress Has a Humorous Side
* How Congress Members Decide (Hint: It Looks Like a Game of
Billiards)
* Teaching Congress Through Visuals
* The Struggle to Reform Congress and Its Consequences
* The Civil Rights Act of 1964: Using Document Analysis to
Tell the Story
* How to Get Your Point Across to Congress Members
* The Dirksen Center Web Suite as a Resource for Teachers
* Congressional Insight: A Computer Simulation of a Member's
First Term in the House of Representatives, and more.
The workshop will take place from Monday, July 25 through
July 28, 2005, at the Radisson Hotel in Peoria, Illinois.
Teachers who are selected for the program will be
responsible for (1) a non-refundable $135 registration fee
(required to confirm acceptance after notice of
selection) and (2) transportation to and from Peoria,
Illinois. Many school districts will pay all or a portion
of these costs.
The Center pays for three nights lodging at the
headquarters hotel (providing a single room for each
participant), workshop materials, local transportation, all
but three meals, and presenter honoraria and expenses. The
Center spends between $25,000 and $30,000 to host the
program each year
Those teachers who are not selected for the program will
have an opportunity to register for the Web-based Congress
in the Classroom course.
The deadline for applications is March 15, 2005. Enrollment
is competitive and limited to forty. Selection will be
determined by The Center. Individuals will be notified of
their acceptance status by April 1, 2005.
