Notes from Millie D

I’m sadden to hear about another resource for educators in Maine will be shutting down its’ doors at the end of the fiscal year.  The Center, better known to people as the organization for Project SEED, has been hit hard due to the lack of funding.  John Brandt summarizes the situation at Maine ASCD with his posting called Goodbye to the Center.

On a personal note I’ve worked with Bob Shafto when he was a master of ceremonies for the Maine Academic Decathlon Super Quiz (which seems like another lifetime ago).  The legacy of Bob and Project SEED lives in a lot of middle school teachers through version 1 of MLTI as well as countless educators whose lives have been touched by attending technology workshops or integrating technology into their classroom through SEED grants.  The work of The Center continues with dedicated educators who are keeping the spirit alive (SEEDlings and Bit by Bit).

Yes, John, I will do my part in building the community in some of the ways you mention in your list.
