Cooperating School Districts, in collaboration with Promethean, is starting a Midwest Promethean User Group (Midwest PUG). This is an opportunity for you to network with schools and teachers here in St. Louis, MO and all over the Midwest to share ideas, lessons, challenges, and successes in using the Activboard. The group will be informal and will meet once a month. You can either come to CSD for the meetings, or, if your district has videoconferencing capabilities, you can connect to the meetings via videoconference. All meetings will be held from 3:30-5:30 pm CT, but if that time is inconvenient, not to worry–come late, or leave early. The first meeting is Thursday, October 23. Subsequent meetings- 2008: Nov. 20 | 2009: Feb. 26, March 26, April 30.

Topics of discussion, lead by Promethean’s Scott Caulfield, will include:

Activstudio tips/tricks
looking at ways to integrate Activstudio into your curriculum
support tools available on Promethean Planet & Promethean Learning

Please come with your ideas and questions! If you bring a flipchart to share you will a Promethean prize!

Reservations Required: to sign up, or if you have questions, contact Martha Bogart. If you would like to participate via videoconference, contact me at rmorrison@csd.org. Feel free to invite others, and come ready to share!
