Technologist of the Year
Congratulations Julie Johnson
Congratulations to Julie Johnson,
a second grade teacher at Greenbrook School in South Brunswick Public
Schools. Julie is the 2008 NJAET Technologist of the Year Award winner.
Across the South Brunswick School District, there are students, who for
medical reasons, are receiving home instruction. Recently, one of Mrs.
Johnson's students became one of these students and his return was uncertain.
Mrs. Johnson and her second grade team, the district's technician, and
the child's parents began to look for ways they could use technology to
create a successful distance learning environment for this child.
Documentation on the success of this process led to the selection of Julie
Johnson as this year's award winner. Plans call for Julie to give an overview
of this project at the May 13, 2008 Board meeting, to present a workshop
at the Annual Fall Conference on Tuesday, October 14, 2008 at Georgian
Court University, and to be featured in an upcoming issue of the NJAET
Journal.

The Center for Innovative Education at Kean University is offering an
exciting opportunity for schools to become part of a pilot cohort for
the Powerful Learning Practices (PLP) program created by Will Richardson
and Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach. Powerful Learning Practices offers a unique
opportunity for educators in New Jersey to participate in long-term, job-embedded

environments. The PLP model is currently enabling hundreds of educators
around the country to experience the transformative potential of social
Web tools to build global learning communities and re-envision their own
personal learning practice.
Kean University will be serving as the hub for a comprehensive cohort
in NJ consisting of 20 teams that will hit every rung in the educational
ladder from K-12 to the NJ DOE. We are looking for teams that acknowledge
and value the new learning opportunities that these technologies afford,
and are willing to be part of a ground breaking experience in education
in NJ.
Below you will find the updated Powerful Learning Practices brochure that
co-brands Kean as an active partner in the program, as well as a detailed
description of the program, outcomes for participating Administrators
and Teacher Leaders, a description of the process, costs, and important
information on how to reserve your spot in this pilot program. Also included
is a URL for a letter of intent for your district.
