Welcome back for the 2009-10 school year. Thanks to the generous support of ACELINK from the school administrative level, we continue to receive funding this year for bringing interactive videoconference programs to your classroom.

Our program has been funded to provide up to 4 free interactive video programs for each teacher per year. As usual, specific program opportunities will be published on a monthly basis, and we'll also send out program descriptions that align to grade levels and standards throughout the year.

We have a NEW online link to use to request programs, so teachers have a choice to fill out the Request Form and fax it in or complete the online form by copying and pasting the following link into your browser: http://purdue.qualtrics.com/SE? SID=SV_0IcbB3ooAVgi44Y&SVID=Prod
