#GoOpenNC




Educators across North Carolina are experts at curating curriculum, especially when looking for alignment to standards and customizing resources based on student needs and local contexts. This fall, NC educators will have access to #GoOpenNC, a platform for sharing, evaluating and remixing openly licensed education materials. #GoOpenNC is an initiative led by NCDPI in collaboration with ISKME, a national partner in open education resources.

This summer, a select number of educators will have early access to #GoOpenNC in order to learn about the features of the platform and begin leading the work of statewide collaboration around curriculum curation and improvement. #GoOpenNC is looking for distinguished educators who can be leaders in curriculum review, alignment and feedback. 

The #GoOpenNC Curriculum Review Academy will run July 22nd - August 2nd with a blend of synchronous and asynchronous engagement to allow the selected participants to work at their own pace, while still collaborating statewide. The Academy includes five hours of virtual engagement and five hours of independent curriculum review. As a gift of gratitude, participants will receive a $100 Amazon gift card upon completion of the Academy. Additionally, participants will receive a certificate of attendance for professional learning aligned to the NC Digital Learning Competencies (0.5 CEUs). Note: Participants will need to follow district/school procedures for approval and submission of CEU documentation.

If you are interested in applying, please complete this form by July 11th.
**Please note the short application window.**

Be sure to share this information with other NC educators!

GoOpenNC!

Five TV Shows I Enjoy

I don't watch TV exactly, but I do have shows line up in my HULU queue, so I do watch those at my convenience. M erlin - this is a sci-fi channel show. I've been an Merlin fan since I was a kid and read The Once and Future King. Merlin and Arthur are both young men in this one. Lie to Me - I love Tim Roth's sassy character and the way he always gets the best of someone by psychoanalyzing them. Fringe - Another sci-fi show, but on ABC. It's just weird at times. Dual universes. Reminds me a bit of Sliders, but much darker and ominous. Characters have developed nicely. Always some very odd twist. FlashForward - I like this one enough I wanna buy the book to see how they compare/contrast. World changing event happens where everyone sees a glimpse of  their futures for the same time period. FBI is trying to find out why and how it happened - how to keep it from happening again. Lots of intrigue. mmmmm that's only 4 DollHouse - didn't make it. This show

Changing denominations

A little over a year ago, when I left my job at the church and walked away to find a new one, I also left my church. The church, that church, the old church? For 17 years, it had been my church and then it was not. Ron and I had taught more classes than I can remember - together and apart. We worked with discipleship, new members and of course, the library. The boys spent their teenage years there and were in countless programs, went to numerous camps as campers and then as counselors. They went on mission trips and made their first international trips with this church. But the time had come to go. We had different jobs and Ron continued teaching Sunday School until the year ended. I didn't go anywhere in that time period. It was in many ways a time of healing. A few people knew why I wasn't there. I'd see other people out and about and they'd mention that they hadn't seen me at church in a while. One of the problems in going to a really big church with multiple ser
