This is a free program!The week of March 10 to 14, 2008 has been designated as Kansas Distance Learning Week (KDLW). The purpose of the designation is to bring awareness of the power of distance learning and its impact on educational programs in Kansas. Governor Sebelius issued a Governor's Proclamation designating March 9 to 15 as Kansas Distance Learning Week.
The focus of the week's events is weather preparedness, and to that end, Tuesday, March 11 is set aside to tell the story of Greenburg, Kansas, the tornado's impact and the recovery of this Kansas town. Some of the programming is for K-12 students, but there is an evening program planned for communities. Several distance learning consortia are supporting KDLW by teaching programs. Greenbush IDL is offering a student program, "Tornados!".
Kansas Distance Learning Week is a statewide program sponsored by the Kansas Association for Interactive Distance Education (KAIDE). To register for any of the programs, please contact Carol Woolbright carol.woolbright@greenbush.org or respond to this email. We are taking registrations through March 5, 2008.
In addition, we plan to video stream the program for schools who do not have IDL. To see the streamed programs, go to http://tv.greenbush.us/ and click on "IDL Live". The live streaming will appear in the video screen, and questions may be asked in the right side of the screen.
