TitleCall for Participation: Focus Group: Spanish & Technology
Body
I am writing to ask any K-12 teachers of Spanish who are interested in
participating in a Focus Group on technology as part of an NEH Grant to
contact me off-list. Below is a description of the "call".

Call for Participation

I am looking for participants for a small focus group of K-12 teachers who are
interested in the use of technology in the classroom. I am in the process of
working on a project in which authentic materials (audio, video, written texts,
and photos) are being gathered and then (1) will be made available to all
foreign language educators, (2) thematic activities with these authentic
materials will be created as examples, and (3) an "ideas" booklet/brochure
will be created and disseminated free of charge to all those interested.

The time frame is three years. The group will get together twice a year (once
at the beginning of the project year and once at the end of the project year) for
a 2-to-3-day meeting. For participation in the group, you would be paid
$150.00 per day, plus expenses (airfare, hotel, and meals).

If you are interested, please contact me at djg25@psu.edu and in the Subject
Line please put "Focus Group Grant Participation", as I get over 100
messages a day.

I am looking for a good balance of levels (elementary, middle, and high
school) as well as different parts of the United States as each level and each
region has different needs.

I look forward to hearing from some of you!!
Best,
Debbie
