This Thursday on @BryanAlexander's #FTTE Forum: #blendedlearning with Kelly Walsh @EmergingEdTech

…a late Forum reminder. I keep posting these notices to drafts by but then forget to publish the draft. If (when) posting habits become more reliable, I will add other related learning event notices. Please bear with me until then. In the meantime follow Bryan on Facebook, Twitter and by blog.

Greetings, Future Trends Forum friends! This week we will examine blended learning.  On Thursday, August 2nd, from 2-3 pm EST, we'll be joined by Kelly Walsh, Chief Information Officer at The College of Westchester.

Captain Planet Foundation Grants

FD0760_NOFA_FY2012[1].doc Download this file

FYI ~ community based environmental education emphasis but not limited to school programs. Right up the iCreate and community garden mission alley but could also be fit for other environmentally conscious community groups with 501/3c status and an education mission

Captain Planet Grant Program

The Captain Planet Foundation (CPF) provides grants to schools, as well as community-based environmental and educational organizations — no grants are made to individuals or businesses.

Grants from the Captain Planet Foundation are intended to:

• serve as a catalyst to getting environmental activities in schools and communities.
• inspire youth to participate in community service through environmental stewardship activities.

 The Captain Planet Foundation primarily makes grants to U.S.-based schools and organizations with an annual operating budget of less than $3 million. CPF will fund unique and innovative projects that do not precisely match the grant guidelines but otherwise promote the foundation’s mission of hands-on environmental activities.  Applications that are outside of this description or do not meet the grant guidelines will not be considered.

Meeting changes: 

• Today's Community Garden Workday and Fall Planning session at Mountain Arts on Broadway site has been postponed to October, but Joan E, Kristine and Addie will be at the garden around 10am to do some tidying up and planning extended beds. Volunteers and visitors, as ever, are welcome. Today might be a good day to drop by and ask questions.

• Due to the Shaffer Hotel closing Thursday (no more Packs Family at the helm), the iCreate board will meet at Lenora's.  Since the meeting is not being held in a public location, this one will not, as per usual policy, be open to the public. If you have questions about iCreate or wish to suggest items for the agenda, call Kay Stillion at 847-2301. Agenda items include: music outreach donations and thank you notes, new location for Mountainair classes; grant plans and deadlines, community garden and SEEDS project

Associated Links: I embed links just in case anyone reading is interested in following them. Today's links added to the video notice strike me as being of particular interest. The Edible Schoolyard is a lovely site, definitely worth a visit, and certainly related to SEEDS, the community outreach and sustainability components of the iCreate mission. Joan Embree will certainly be familiar with Chez Panisse and its foundation.
