In conjunction with MAT@USC we want to give thanks to those who inspire us...
Dear Ed Bloggers,
We're in the peak of the Holiday Season and want to thank all of you who have been a positive force in the education world with $100 in Donor's Choose Giving cards to support a classroom project anywhere in the country.
Education in the United States has been through a lot this year, the ongoing debate around standardized assessments, H1N1 and swine flu (good luck to all the licensed nurses at schools out there), to the roller coaster ride that is educational funding. Through it all you've captured the debate and informed the community with your writing, which has inspired MAT@USC and we'd like to return the favor.
Here's how it works:
Step 1. Write a blog post about an event or experience in 2009 that gave you hope for the future of American education.
Step 2. Conclude the post with this line that we hope will encourage others to take part:
This post is part of the MAT@USC: Masters in Teaching Hope for the holidays event. Did you have an experience or witness something in 2009 which gave you hope for the future of American education? If so, please see this post for more information on how to share it.
Step 3. Email Crystal (crystal@myteachermyhero.com) with a link to your post, and they will send you your Giving Cards within 24 hours.
Here are a few Donors Choose Projects you might consider:
New York City With Tech, All Things are Possible... , Einstein Science Show to Engage Students in East Harlem
Washington D.C. Technology in the Classroom , A Rug to Grow On!
Southern California One LapTop Per Student , Trying to Turn the School Paper Digital
Louisiana Making Learning Easy: Donate a Easel! , Dress Up to Learn
Chicago Learning in motion- Physics Day at Six Flags , "I Wanna Play Drums!""
Happy Holidays!
Thank you for your contributions to the educational community.
Best wishes,
Crystal
