School districts around the state are continually looking for effective technology professional development for their teachers. In response to this need, the Connecticut State Department of Education and the Alliance of Regional Educational Service Centers (RESCs) are pleased to announce an exciting new opportunity, the Technology Integration Professional Partner for the 21st Century (TIPP21) program. This two day training will take place on [insert your dates here] at [insert your location here]. It is being offered for a nominal fee of $50 per person to cover the cost of materials, CEUs, morning refreshments and lunch. The balance is being defrayed by the RESC Alliance Enhancing Education Through Technology grant funds. Each school is encouraged to recommend a technology/instructional leader to participate as a TIPP21. All participants will receive two days of innovative face-to-face training and an additional day of online professional development activities. An exciting benefit of becoming a TIPP21 is that all participants will receive free access to Moodle, an online learning management system, for the rest of the school year, which they can use to develop online content to support a traditional course, a blended learning course, or an online learning course, for their colleagues or students.

Training will focus on: · Effective instruction with adult learners · Knowledge of effective presentation techniques and skills · Essential current technologies and 21st Century information literacy skills, technology integration strategies and tools to support teaching and learning, e.g., Wikispaces, Web 2.0 tools, etc.

We are looking for educators, K-12, who have a strong interest in integrating technology tools to support teaching and learning. They should also have experience in using technology to support their teaching.

Please encourage one of your technology proficient educators to apply by asking them to complete the online application at http://tipp21.wikispaces.com/application. Any questions, please call your RESC contact person. The deadline for completed applications has been extended to **January 31, 2011.**
