Congratulations to Cindy Lane, first Missouri educator selected for Google Teacher Academy

Congratulations to Cindy Lane, certified eMINTS instructional specialist from the Lindbergh School District in Missouri. Cindy will join 49 other innovative educators selected from around the world (thousands of applications were received) to get hands-on experience with Google's free products and other technologies, learn about innovative instructional strategies, receive resources to share with colleagues, and immerse themselves in an innovative corporate environment. Upon completion, Academy participants become Google Certified Teachers who share what they learn with other K-12 educators in their local regions.

New eMINTS classroom website feature

Over the summer months, eMINTS staff will be removing their old "cluster" websites in favor of newer Moodle spaces where teachers in professional development can learn about session dates and other information important for those who are in eMINTS professional development programs. Since many classroom websites are linked from the current "cluster" websites, the eMINTS National Center wants to provide a place for those website links that is more accessible to everyone in all of our states (and countries).

If you are interested in having your classroom website linked from the eMINTS National Center site, you can submit your classroom website link for posting. eMINTS teachers from all over the U.S. (and soon from Australia) are invited to participate. Find more information and instructions for submitting a short online form ....

Watch the eMINTS website for announcements of newly organized listings of classroom websites by grade level and subject area.
