King City teacher Michael Jones needs your help
Michael Jones, a first grade teacher at the King City Union School District, is seeking to win $2,500
from an on-line contest so he can outfit his classroom with Chrome books.
The grants are awarded based on internet voting. Jones believes he's the only teacher with an active proposal on the entire central coast (and probably the only participant in this month’s grant cycle.)
"Any way that you can support my efforts to bring this grant to our area would be greatly appreciated," Jones said in an email. "People can vote once each day in July. I will be using the grant money to provide technology so my students can practice and integrate their learning in computer based projects."
To vote for his project, click here.
A search for 93930 zip code shows the grant for M. Jones of King City.
And good luck to you, Mr. Jones!

Cyber adventures: children learn to love robotics and computer science
About two dozen middle schoolers had a chance to participate in "Cyber Adventures: the Joy and Beauty of Computer Science," a week-long program offered at the Alisal Campus of Hartnell College. The Lyceum of Monterey County, the Naval Postgraduate School and Hartnell College all collaborated to make this program possible. The students also went on a field trip to MBARI and NPS, participated in a robotics competition, and judging by their smiley faces in the photos, had a blast!
This was the first time this event took place, so I hope to see it next year!

A shout-out to La Paz Middle School's Natalie Bernasconi
Who is in Redmond, Wash., as we speak, showcasing the work she's been doing on "digital citizenship," at the Microsoft Partners in Learning 2012 US Forum.
A self-described techno-geek, Bernasconi has been developing a curriculum to create "digital citizens," that is, students who are conscious of their presence in the cyberworld: how to avoid cyberbullies and not to be one, what to post and not to post, etc. It's a project where teachers and students are invited to participate, and you can find it here.
Bernasconi and her project partner Gail Desler of Elk Grove USD were invited to participate in the national conference after presenting the project at the Silicon Valley Education Foundation ShiftEd forum in March. If selected, Bernasconi and Desler would go to the world wide conference in Greece. So good luck, Ms. Bernasconi! We're rooting for you!
