AAUW of Arizona is offering two scholarship opportunities to help college students pursue their education and gain valuable leadership experience. I write to ask you and your colleagues to encourage students enrolled at Northern Arizona University to apply. Information and application materials for the state academic scholarships and leadership awards are available at www.aauwarizona.org under the heading "What We Do/College & University Connections/Scholarship Opportunities." I have also attached the 2015 application forms.

Edcamp is a FREE day of professional development for teachers, specialists, principals, administrators and more. It's not like any other professional development you've experienced before.

Educational Technology master's students in the ETC655 class recently published two eBooks in Apple's iTunes bookstore. The eBooks highlight Open Educational Resource and serve as a resource for educators interested in integrating online technology to support their online instruction. Digital learners also could use this book to support their learning by creating digital personal learning environments. Students Ryan Cornelius , Dana Martin and Cathleen McCarthy contributed to PLE & ONLE: A Learner's Companion and Christopher Sheehan , Stephen Saint-Coeur and Christopher Udvare worked on Online Education: The PLE and The ONLE . Both eBooks are free to download. This news is highlighted on Inside NAU, NAU's weekly newsletter.  http://news.nau.edu/spotlight-jan-9-2015/#.VLA-x6ZY9o5

I have been working with Dr. Michelle Miller (UC, Psychology, and author of  Minds Online: Teaching Effectively With Technology ) to develop a Bb Learn module called Attention Matters!.  This is designed to be a resource to be used by students to develop their own sense of their understanding of attention issues in their learning. Michelle is getting many requests from far afield based on her book to get access to this module.  We can easily share the Bb Learn version of it.  However, not all colleges are on Bb Learn.  So, to the point of this note.  Would you have an Ed Tech student in need of an internship (either at the Masters or Doctoral level) who could translate the Bb Learn version of the module to the top three LMSs and to a web version (perhaps a Google site).  Each version would need an accompanying instructors guide based on the one we've already written, but with a focus on the destination LMS/site...
