| DPA Administrator Reminder |

Don’t forget to “approve” DPA logs by the end of June!
Not only will you have a clean slate for next year, but approving DPA logs also prevents accidental editing by students.For student logs that can’t be approved (e.g., due to invalid PENs), please contact the LearnNowBC Support Desk and we can help.

| Final CEET Meet of the Year |
 |
The Community of Expertise in Educational Technology (CEET) and LearnNowBC are pleased to have offered more than 12 free and open online professional learning workshops (CEET Meets) this 2012/2013 school year.Here are the details on the final CEET Meet for this school year:
- Using Global Collaborative Projects to Enhance Learning: June 7th-12th
Global Collaborative Projects provide an incomparable opportunity for students and educators at multiple institutions around the world to actively collaborate in shared courses. Students involved in global, collaborative classroom projects not only learn the content standards at higher levels, they also develop critical global competencies and the seven survival skills for the 21st century which Tony Wagner identified in his book, The Global Achievement Gap.
Join this CEET Meet to explore how you can create global learning experiences for your students.
CEET Meets use the LearnNowBC Moodle LMS platform. These “Professional Learning Potlucks” focus on the resources and skills needed to use a variety of technologies in the classroom and online.
PLUS, you can access ANY archived CEET Meet from this year or previous years, even if you didn’t register for it or participate. You just need to have registered for ANY past, present or future CEET Meet and you’ll have access.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Education, we’ve revamped the Adult Graduation information section on LearnNowBC.Adults are returning to education in increasing numbers – either to earn their BC Dogwood or to augment their transcript to prepare for post-secondary.
Whatever the reason, the updated information section provides concise information for adults looking to return to school.

These ACE IT programs are delivered by certified instructors in a high-school, at a partner post-secondary institution, or at an ITA-certified training facility.
Students can take the first step towards gaining a credential in their chosen trade or vocation and find the training they want, where they want it.
