When I saw CNN’s recent post on Bobby McFerrin, all I could think of was this year’s Celebration of Teaching & Learning. I had the privilege of attending as part of the press, representing my blog Just Call Me Ms Frizzle, so I quickly opened up a new tab in my browser to relive some of my favorite moments.

Race to the Top builds on the lessons from two decades of school reform to support states' innovative efforts to prepare our students for success in a competitive 21st century economy. It rewards states that have bold reform plans with broad support that will have a statewide impact.

Today’s national leadership has made education a top priority, highlighting the need to prepare America’s students to successfully compete in the global economy. THIRTEEN & WLIW21, New York’s flagship public television stations, have hosted a professional development event where over 8,500 educators from all 50 states, D.C., Puerto Rico and Canada come together to help shape the future of our schools.

Content strands, times, locations and links; all your initial questions answered.

The Chase Multimedia in the Classroom award competition was created to showcase the creative use of technology by students and teachers in a collaborative effort. These dynamic projects both support, as well as often go beyond the classroom curriculum. The competition is open to all K-12 teachers and their students in public and non-public schools in the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey and Connecticut). This year we received over 120 entries from schools in the tri-state area. Please check out the 2010 Chase Award winning entries here!
