Instructify

Here’s a little holiday treat for you: one lucky Instructify commenter will receive free tuition to a LEARN NC online professional development course.

We’ll randomly select one comment made between now and January 14 (that’s the date of the comment, not the date of the post, so if you comment on an older post, you’re still in the hunt). The winner will receive a free spot in his or her choice of one of LEARN NC’s new e-Learning for Educators courses:

• Science 2.0: Using Web Tools to Promote Inquiry-Based Science (beginning on January 21)
• Using Patterns to Develop Algebraic Thinking (January 21)
• Integrating Primary Sources into the Social Studies Classroom (January 26)
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Using Objective Measures to Improve Student Learning (January 28)
• Getting Ready for Algebra by Using Virtual Manipulatives (February 25)
• Classroom Assessment Enhanced by Technology (April 22)

We’ll post a reminder between now and the 14th. In the meantime, we’d love to hear from you, so post a comment. It could get you some free professional development. -BILL FERRIS
