From amela@pelegroup.net Mon Feb 9 09:53:03 2004 Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2004 11:08:06 -0500 From: Amela Sadagic To: Randy Latimer Subject: Megaconference Jr. : next steps Hi Randy, It was great meeting and talking to all of you all last week. Hope this is just the beginning of our work together on the next round of inspiring projects with TJ. Let me quickly give you an overview of the next steps for Megaconference Jr. The following web page describes the way in which student+teacher from some school can participate in the work of the Planning Committees: http://megaconferencejr.cciu.org Let us know who among your students would be interested in this kind of work and what Committee he/she would like to be a part of (he/she can give us first and second choice in case some committees are already booked). My colleague Jennifer McDougall from MAGPI will contact you and your student and provide you with an information about the work of that will follow. Welcome to Megaconference Jr. family and looking forward working with you and your student. best, Amela From amela@pelegroup.net Mon Feb 9 09:53:17 2004 Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2004 12:04:08 -0500 From: Amela Sadagic To: Randy Latimer Subject: Re: Megaconference Jr. : next steps Randy, Ideas sound great! Please see the starting set of ideas I collected from our group so far: http://www.pelegroup.net/resources/megaJR/activities.html These are predominantly ideas for "downtimes" i.e. they do not include presentations as those will come from people who will propose specific presentations depending on what they do at their school. I suggest that you and your student (do yo have his/her name?) be part of Program Committee - would you like me to suggest this to Jennifer? best, Amela PS: we had quite a bit of snow here in NY and all schools were cancelled for the day.
