** our 26th year ** ("closing in on the NY Yankees")
This year we are offering one week of Summercore at Cape Henry Collegiate
School in Virginia Beach VA, one week in the NYC area at Horace Mann
School July 12-16 and one week at St. Mary's Episcopal School in Tampa FL
July 26-30. Summercore is a unique computer training workshop for K-12
teachers of all ages and all stages: from novices to administrators to
skilled users to computer coordinators. As Patricia Loesekann, English
teacher from Academy of Holy Names in Tampa FL writes "Summercore is like
eating a POWERBAR. You will be more energized. There is nothing like
changing your ways when you know it will touch your students' lives
forever. Do it for them!"
-- Summercore 2.010 meets Web 2.0. Do you want your faculty excited about
blogs, wikis, Google docs and RSS? How about creating links in Delicious?
Or working on digital storytelling with bubbleshare, flickr, and jumpcut?
Or using Voicethread for a classroom project? What about creating a
journey in Google Earth or acquiring strategies for incorporating YouTube
into the curriculum?
-- Summercore 2.010 will include all these Web 2.0 skills, plus strategies
for using the Smartboard and the notebook software, laptops in the
classroom, and searching for the best web sites available. The key theme
for Summercore 2.010 is how to create a Classroom 2.0. Our focus will be
on revolutionizing the dynamics of the use of technology. There is nothing
more exciting than integrating the world of Web 2.0 into every grade level.
-- Summercore 2.010 is a unique 5 day marathon journey through hardware,
software and humanware. It is different from virtually any other computer
workshop you have ever attended. The only way to get a sense of this is to
read quotes from those who have come or even better talk directly to any
of the over 2700 Independent School teachers and administrators who have
attended Summercore since we began in 1985, exactly 26 years ago.
Please tell your faculty--all grade levels and all skill levels--about
Summercore 2010. All details are posted on our http://www.summercore.com
Web site. Thanks in advance for sharing this e-mail with your faculty and
administrators.
