A big thanks to NELC lead, Andrea Rioux, for hosting our #fcsvanguard Twitter chat last night. For all of the Vanguard things Andrea does, this was her very first time hosting a chat! Thanks for setting an example of stepping outside of your comfort zone and providing some great PD!

Missed the chat? Check out the transcript and resources!

Next week, Daniel Hodge will host a different kind of #fcsvanguard chat! Stay tuned!

Still nervous about participating in a Twitter chat or just looking for some collaborative time with great people? New dates have been selected in the NELC. Anyone interested can attend - you don't have to be an NELC Vanguard member.

Let's take it back to the beginning of last year when we visited with current Instructional Technology Program Specialist, Heather Van Looy, while she was the tech coach at River Trail. Hear about how Personalized Learning was taking place at River Trail and take a look around Vanguard member Gina Ceely's classroom.

Please consider signing up to showcase your work and/or your school. We would like to highlight all areas of the county, all academic levels, and all personalized learning principles. You're doing great work! Share it with others!

Are you a fan of the format for the VanWeekly and would like to try Smore at a discounted rate? Educators can get 35% off of the educator cost with their back to school sale.
