SUMMARY:Diversity in Context: Stretching the Idea of Building Diverse Collections
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michelle Luhtala\, Library Department Chair\, New Canaan High School\, CT; Robert Hillhouse\, Secondary Multilingual Programs Teacher on Special Assignment; and Kerrin Moeller\, Elementary Multilingual Programs Teacher on Special Assignment \nSponsored by Mackin Educational Resources \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nOur inquiry series continues as we take a deep dive into building a diverse collection and nurturing a community of curious readers. As reader advisors\, we know that young readers often relate to characters who share some of their own characteristics. The popularity of the realism genre encourages the publishing industry to pair representative characters with stories that feature headline-worthy drama.

SUMMARY:E-rate and Fiber Networks: Demystifying Special Construction
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Joe Freddoso\, COO and Co-Founder\, Mighty River LLC; Kim Friends\, Vice President\, E-Rate Compliance Services\, CSM Consulting\, Inc.; and Roy Hoover\, Network and Telecommunications Coordinator\, Lancaster-Lebanon Intermediate Unit 13\nHosted by Cynthia Schultz\, Esq.\, Managing Member\, Broadband Law Group\, PLLC \nSponsored by Velocity Fiber \nWatch the Recording\nGet a CE Certificate for this edWebinar Learn more \nThe high one-time and recurring costs of constructing and maintaining telecommunication infrastructure has long been a barrier to K-12 school districts seeking access to affordable\, high-speed broadband — particularly for small and medium school districts. For many districts\, utilizing E-rate discounts for special construction has allowed them to build a high-speed Wide Area Network (WAN) that is both affordable and scalable for their future bandwidth demands. \nIn this edWebinar\, we discuss all things fiber and the E-rate program: the highs\, the lows\, the ups\, and the downs. Our expert panel spans the gamut of experience with successful E-Rate Fiber Special Construction applications and boots on the ground implementation of fiber WANs. Prepare yourself for a lively recorded session with relevant and timely insight on the special construction process from contract to connection! \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of interest to school and district leaders. \nAbout the Presenters \nJoe Freddoso is a former Cisco executive (2000-2007) and former President and CEO of MCNC/The North Carolina Research and Education Network (2007-2014). From 2009-2012\, Joe helped lead MCNC’s efforts to build a state-wide 2600-mile fiber network that serves as the North Carolina’s community anchor backbone network. Joe and his wife April founded Mighty River in 2014. Mighty River has consulted on over 40\,000 linear miles of fiber construction for private and public entities. These fiber networks serve both middle and last mile markets and often connect community anchor institutions to upstream colocation and network access point (NAP) facilities. Mighty River\, through past or current consulting contracts with USAC\, EducationSuperHighway\, the state of Nevada\, and individual E-rate applicants\, has worked in some capacity on over 1000 E-rate special construction applications for districts as large as Broward County\, Florida and projects as small as single public or tribal library. \n \nKim Friends is recognized as one of the nation’s foremost experts in the field of E-rate compliance. She owns and manages one of the country’s largest E-rate consulting firms\, working with almost 400 applicants (schools\, libraries\, and consortia) throughout 15 states. Kim and her talented staff tackle some of the most challenging E-rate situations in their day-to-day operations resulting in a wide swath of experience across all aspects of the program\, which in turn allows CSM to recognize potential concerns often before they are known by the program’s administrators. CSM’s primary offices are located throughout California\, however\, there are satellite offices in Nashville\, TN\, Tallahassee\, FL\, and the greater Washington\, DC area. \n \nRoy Hoover has over 30 years of experience working with technology in K-12 educational environments. He has an associate degree in electronics from York Technical Institute and a bachelor’s degree in management and organizational development from Eastern Mennonite University. He started his career as an audio-visual technician at a school district and held a number of technology positions before moving to Lancaster-Lebanon IU13 as a technology specialist.

Too often\, conversations about technology begin with the “what” – devices and infrastructure – instead of first articulating the “why” or the greater purpose behind the initiative. A strong “why” for implementing technology guides everything from purchasing and future budgets to professional learning plans and staffing. Further\, as these leaders explain\, when everyone in the district understands the greater purpose behind the technology initiative\, then it becomes easier to get community buy-in and support. \nThis recorded edWebinar will be of particular value to superintendents\, assistant superintendents\, district technology leaders\, and school leaders in rural schools. \n \nAbout the Presenters \nJamie Foreman is the Deputy Chief Technology Officer for Albemarle County Public Schools in Virginia.

Jamie started his career as a language arts and science teacher at Fluvanna Middle School. He then transitioned to the role of Instructional Technology Resource teacher at the same school\, which he continued until 2010. In 2010\, he was hired by Albemarle County Public Schools as an instructional technology specialist. Jamie holds a B.A. in psychology and an M.T. in elementary education from the University of Virginia. He recently added a School Administration Endorsement through coursework at James Madison University. \n \nLuke Meinert is the Director of Technology for the Yukon Koyukuk School District in Alaska. He holds master’s degrees in both educational technology and educational leadership. Luke is passionate about providing innovative services and solutions for our Alaskan students. He founded Esports Alaska in 2018 that had over 30 teams compete in its inaugural season. The National School Boards Association named him a “20 To Watch Educational Technology Leader”\, and he was honored with ISTE’s Making IT Happen award. \n \nTim Smith is the Supervisor of Instructional Practice and Technology Integration at Red Lion Area School District in rural\, south-central Pennsylvania. Tim’s passion is helping educators and administrators integrate modern practices and digital-age\, instructional strategies into their classrooms and schools in meaningful ways. Tim\, a veteran educator of over 20 years\, has a background as a high school social studies teacher\, is a CoSN Certified Education Technology Leader\, and a Google Certified Trainer. He has previously taught at both the middle and high school levels and has served as an elementary and secondary administrator. Tim regularly presents and leads professional development at state and national events. \n \nAbout the Host \nDr. Beth Holland is the Digital Equity and Rural Project Director for the Consortium for School Networking (CoSN).
