1) HONOR SOCIETY HIGH SCHOOL SEEKS MS/ELEM SCHOOL FOR MENTOR/MENTEE PROGRAM
Dear Listserv Members,
The National Foreign Language Honor Society of one of my high schools is looking for partners to join them in a monthly videoconference collaboration whereby the Honor Society members would be mentors to elementary and middle school students who are also studying Spanish, French, or Latin.
Monthly videoconferences would be arranged between collaborating schools so that the individual mentors could work with their partners to improve conversation, reading, and grammar skills through a variety of skits, stories, and games.
If the collaborations work well, the Honor Society would be interested in continuing the videoconferences throughout the rest of this school year and into the next school year on an ongoing basis.
If you are interested, please email me.
Thank you,
Sandy Wolgast

4) LCDLC EXISTING TEACHERS MEETING DATE CHANGED
To: LCDLC Existing Teachers
From: Dave Miller
Date: 2/22/06
Subject: Changed in-service date
Existing LCDLC Teachers – Several of you have notified us that our original meeting date for our second in-service scheduled for Thursday, March 9th conflicts with proficiency testing. As a result, we are CHANGING your scheduled in-service date to Thursday, March 23rd, 8:00 A.M. to 3:30 P.M. We will meet once again at the Lorain County JVS in the lower wing as we did at our first meeting.
At our meeting, we’ll be finalizing your three lessons or projects. If you’ll be applying for graduate credit, you’ll need to complete your three lessons and have the three lessons documented on our website by Monday, April 3rd. At our in-service, we will give you the majority of the day to complete your three projects. You should plan to record your video promo during the day, as well as complete the lesson plans.
Finally, we’re gearing up for our year end showcase scheduled tentatively for May 16th, 2006. Last year we had 18 presenters with clips. We’ll want to showcase some of our best projects again this year, including some of our new projects this group has been creating. At our meeting, we’ll discuss how we’ll be showcasing a few of your projects, as well as other IVDL uses you may have participated in this year that you’d like to share. We’ll need video footage of these sessions, so be sure to tape any sessions that you think might be good to share at this year-end meeting.
*Please RSVP your attendance so we can reserve you a lunch. I look forward to hearing from you.
