Because of our Educational Opportunities Network Project, we've got temporary access to additional staff resources - through June 2009. The EON Project was supported by the Southern Tier Regional Planning Board and funded by the Appalachian Regional Commission.
The EON Project is allowing us time to present the awesome potential of DL/IVC to all 21 of our districts at staff meetings and professional development days. The response so far has been very enthusiastic and activity in IVC and other forms of Distance Learning continues to blossom throughout our region. More districts are taking advantage of WebBased instructor facilitated courses and a collaborative 3D virtual worlds program has had such a positive impact we're working hard to expand and continue its availability.
If you're from one of the districts in the GST region - feel free to drop us a note at dl@gstboces.org if you'd like any sort of assistance with making great use of Distance Learning resources for your community or school. If you're from outside the region - we'd still love to hear from you - especially if your looking for some form of DL collaboration!
