Keystone Conference

The Avon Local Schools and the Lorain County Distance Learning Consortium will be presenting in Indianapolis. Dave Miller and I will be sharing our consortium themes, projects and the teacher in-service programs. We were delighted to see that one of our favorite content providers (Cosi Toledo’s Andy Campbell) will be our session moderator.

The Keystone Conference will be a great opportunity to promote collaborations with other states and organizations. The conference looks to be a great program again this year. If you have not had a chance to see line up, check out http://www.keystoneconference.org/.

Got fiber?

Avon’s story time program took a turn to the odd with all three programs having to be rescheduled due to fiber being removed from the telephone poll at Avon East. Yes you read that correctly the fiber from the telephone poll to the building was missing for about 13 hours. Adlephia cable was able to rerun the cable into the building and all was well again but not in time for the scheduled calls.

In hopes that the school could be online for one or more of the after programs the program was kept on the schedule. Although Avon East could not participate the program went on with Magnolia Schools in Texas. We look forward to working with them again with the rescheduled connections.
