The Moment We've Been Waiting for!!!

Funny, last night I tried to send a message about the technical difficulties I was having, but it seems that due to technical issues the message didn't go through! At least I didn't receive my own message!

I've mentioned lately about the Mastermind Group of Educators that I am building. I used that survey from a few weeks ago to build a group for those of us who want to do things just a little differently, and add technology into much that we share with students.

I found that most of us want some day-to day assistance and some guidance with quality lessons so we don't have to work so much when we are at home at night.

The video above that I made tonight (filmed by a 10 year old...so please bear with me when she moves and cuts my head off here and there!) highlights what this will offer and the unbelievable incentive that I have to give to just the first 100 charter members to join me.

The best part is that I'm sending the incentive to you just in time to make many of them Christmas presents! Sure can't beat that! Shopping for others while also choosing to bring yourself a little more peace and stress relief by joining a group of educators willing to share ideas and projects and top-notch information in regards to educational technology! Can you believe that I would be willing to send you all 7 books for just $18.95 (and that includes shipping!) to inspire you to join me as a charter member in this technology group of educators?

To just give you a little hint, this site has:

· Lesson Plans (those on my site for a cost are all free downloads in the member section!)

· Articles of Ideas (lots of specific ideas and broad topics for technology integration)

· Project Samples (see exactly what the project could look like from students!)

· Discussion Groups (share the ideas, thoughts, and successes that you've experienced)

· Conference Reports (find out what other people are talking about out there)

· Skill-building Articles (have some how-to questions that need answering?)

· Emerging Technology Ideas (What's new that we should be thinking about?)

· Ideas you can use (take these ideas and use them with your students tomorrow)

· Reproducibles (even better...make copies and start your students working...)

· Downloads (read current aricles, download presentations, and lessons and activities)

· Forums for sharing (together we arealways stronger than alone!)

· Video Updates (see, rather than read, how some of these strategies work)

· Much, Much More!

So, consider this just a glimpse into the exciting new site that is launching! You can take a peek at the site at http://mastermindgroupofeducators.com

...it is freshly loaded! I've been working on it for a few weeks now to be just what we want...

Like I said, I only have 100 sets of my books to send out to the charter members and then I will be pulling the offer off of the site.

Good night, and I look forward to working with those of you who choose to join the exclusive

masterminds on a whole new level! Together we will rock this world (or at least the foundations of traditional education!)

I'll be back tomorrow with more details....
