The meeting they had at the AEA on Wednesday said nothing new, we had already received all of that information from previous ICN meetings.
IEOC does not have a 21st Century Test: http://www.education.uiowa.edu/itp/ieoc/Default.aspx Remember, on the IEOC, you have to pretest at the beginning of the course, and then again at the end of the course. I have not yet found out where to see where the costs are, and if you get the pre and post for that one cost. Tim Buenz has started filling out his grant request for one of his buildings. A few of us are getting together March 4th at Webster City for a couple of things, 1) to check out his new server architecture with virtual servers and a storage network, and also to check out the new features of Lightspeed and their new MyBigCampus social network and 2) work on our Microsoft filling, or at least talk about what Tim has done, look through the process, and maybe start heading in the right direction. We may generate other questions that we will look to the AEA, John O'Connell or other AEAs out there. We will start there at 9:30. So, you can attend there to start with this, although it will only leave two months to complete the process. Have a great weekend!!!

If it the end of course tests that I am thinking of, there isn't a 21st Cent. one that I know of. There are Algebra, Social Studies, etc. 2) Can we get this as a topic of an upcoming meeting, as I know we are all confused on this, and confused together might bring about something useful. Karl H.
