No Money? A CMLE scholarship of up to $200 is yours to use for registration, hotel, mileage, meals, or to subsidize the cost of your employer hiring a substitute worker so you can be away. If you approach your boss to say you have found a way to contribute  $200, they will know you are invested and have taken initiative. The application process is easy, CMLE would love to exhaust its scholarship budget this year, so go for it!

MEMO 2013 Conference Note

Were you unable to attend the recent MEMO Conference in St. Cloud? Did you attend the conference but upon returning to work you were completely buried as a result of taking time off to invest in yourself? Perhaps you cannot even find those notes you took during the conference.  No matter what your story is, Michelle Kiley and I attended the conference in order to report back some of the things  we learned, and to help you feel more professionally connected too. With that in mind,  some conference resources you may find interesting and helpful include:

Joyce Valenza’s keynote presentation  

Presenter resources

Twitter hash tag for the conference was:  #mnmemo.  Many MEMO colleagues  were tweeting  during the conference and often embed links that may not be made available anywhere else, so check it out!

Tip: Through social media I often find out the Twitter hash tag for national conferences I am unable to attend. Then when I go into my Twitter account, I do a search for the hash tag to view conference content. Sometimes, even the keynotes are available in this way. Try it out!

Upcoming Flipped Classroom Mini Conference

According to Mary Mehsikomer…..

The Flipped Classroom is a topic that seems to be on everybody’s mind these days. MEMO is planning a one-day “mini conference” around flipped learning that you won’t want to miss. Save April 12, 2013 on your calendars to attend this event at TIES in St. Paul.

I am also looking for some volunteers to help me plan the day so that it meets the needs of all attendees. If you are at all interested in helping with this – and it won’t be a huge amount of work – please contact me at mary.mehsikomer@ties.k12.mn.us or via phone at 651-999-6510. I need some people to help us flip out!  Thank You!
