Last year I was the sole representative from MIAD to the FTC. This year MIAD had seven available for the wide opportunity of sessions, people networking and inspiration. I think we are already looking forward to next year’s FTC!

WiscNet FTC Day 2: Moodle
Due to my Internet2 session I missed Moodle: facilitating communities of learners. Martin Dougiamas, founder and lead developer of Moodle was broadcast over the internet via Skype from Perth Australia to Madison. My team from MIAD enjoyed the session and we look for positive tasks for the summer.

The annual Internet2 K20 WorkGroup meeting was my first opportunity to share my learning and experiences as co-chair with Dan Gross. This has been a great opportunity to learn and engage educators and professional staff from around the state in furthering the awareness of Internet2 and the power it can deliver into the classroom.
We are looking to continue the momentum built in 2006/07 and will be pushing to establish exciting content for the upcoming Internet2 Day in Madison December 3rd 2007.

The MIAD team was able to reflect and discuss outcomes of day one at the evening reception. (left to right) Kim Tondryk, Cynthia Lynch, Leslie Fedorchuk, David Novotny and Matt Ogden.
Dan Gross and I moderated the FTC session Integrating Art Into the Teaching of Math, Science and other Disciplines enabled by Internet2.
There could be no greater example of the power of WiscNet and Internet2 than by having Dale Hilton from the Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA) present a distance learning sample session on the Harlem Renaissance. Talk about hitting a homerun! This was an amazing session for educators in Wisconsin to experience Art and multimedia in a distance learning setting…from Madison to Cleveland over Internet2 in real-time.
