Summer Institute 2010: Reflections by a Digital Native

Submitted by akio on Tue, 07/06/2010 - 4:59pm

I hate to gloat, but quite frankly, this year's Summer Institute entitled "A Sense of Place: Preserving, Working, and Celebrating our Land" was by far the best workshop yet.

I'm not saying this because this would be the last summer institute in which I would participate. No, it really was the best. For me, it was not only about connecting with teachers, but also it was about learning more about myself and my relationship to the environment in which I live and interact.

Welcome Wyoming educators!

Submitted by Kim on Thu, 01/07/2010 - 11:50am

TPS at UNC is excited to welcome Wyoming educators into our program starting in 2010. Our desire is to build on the success of the regional pilot project in that state and reach many more educators with this expansion. The core of our geographic focus will now include northern Colorado and the Wyoming population centers of Cheyenne and Laramie. Beyond this core area, we continue our commitment to reach the K-12 educator community in outlying areas, now in both states.

We encourage Wyoming teachers to join us at the UNC Centerra Center for our ongoing TPS workshops, and anticipate that offerings in Wyoming may draw Colorado educators as well. We look forward to great opportunities for cross-boundary collaboration and learning.
