<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon, OhioDLA members:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to pass along an opportunity that our K-12 schools could benefit from. This is a scholarship program that provides funds for teachers and schools to receive content provider programming. All Ohio schools which connect through
an ITC meet the Internet2 connectivity requirement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks very much to Laura Bryson at BEMC for finding this opportunity and notifying our Board!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#01000B">The Internet2 Community Anchor Program (CAP) is excited to announce that it has created a distance learning scholarship program to
give K-12 teachers free, one-on-one distance learning programs for their class through the </span><span style="font-size:12.5pt"><a href="http://www.cilc.org/"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">Center for Interactive Learning and Collaboration</span></a></span><span style="font-size:12.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#01000B"> (CILC).
Any teacher from a school that is connected via a </span><span style="font-size:12.5pt"><a href="https://internet2.edu/community/membership/research-and-education-networks-membership/"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif">state or regional research
and education network</span></a></span><span style="font-size:12.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#01000B"> can apply to use the scholarship to pay for a one-on-one distance learning class from the CILC. Teachers can apply for the scholarship regardless
of whether their school is holding in-person classes or distance learning.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#01000B"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="has-text-align-left" style="mso-margin-top-alt:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt">
<span style="font-size:12.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#01000B">Courses from the CILC expand opportunities for students to interact and learn live from any of the CILC’s 200 content providers from around the world. Teachers can choose from any
of the over 1,900 professionally-delivered programs offered, all of which have been evaluated by teachers and can be sorted by topic or by recommendation. Students can participate in experiences like <a href="https://www.cilc.org/ContentProvider/Program.aspx?id=1082">dissecting
a sheep’s brain</a> to sharpen observation and analysis skills with experts from Adventures In Medicine & Science (AIMS) Program of Saint Louis University or learn about <a href="https://www.cilc.org/ContentProvider/Program.aspx?id=504">Aztec art, myths, and
writing systems</a> from the Cleveland Museum of Art, without ever leaving their classroom. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

with the last day to submit an application being Friday, November 20. Scholarship recipients will be chosen at Internet2’s sole discretion. As scholarships are awarded, teachers will be notified and guided through the process of purchasing their courses. Once
classrooms have completed their CILC program, CAP will interview teachers to learn about their experiences and share their stories via a series of blog posts. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
