Here are a few highlights of CFF activities for the week:
- Rick and I met with representatives for Promethean and Logical Choice to discuss the specifics of the "model classrooms" demonstrations scheduled during the 2009 Innovation in Education Awards program on the USS Midway. The demonstrations will be conducted by the Midway U educators to illustrate the lessons (using innovative technologies) that will be used with students when the classroom re-models are completed this summer.
- I met with the California Emerging Technology Fund's School2Home Design Team to discuss potential funding sources that would support a pilot project with 20 middle schools throughout the state. The program would include hardware, software, applications, professional development and broadband connectivity. The five year goals is to expand the program to 529 middle schools in "program improvement."
- I attended the San Diego Science Alliance Tech Fair at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and met with several CFF Board members, Advisory Board members and potential sponsors of the CFF annual event.
- There were several sponsorship confirmation this week for the annual event including: Sempra (Visionary); Gutschow Family Foundation (Visionary); MFCU (Graduate) Sea World (Scholar) and Burhman Foundation (Scholar). We have a long way to go to reach our goal and if any CFF Board members have some leads I'd be happy to follow-up with the contacts.
