This afternoon the POS Workgroup met with the Chairs of the POS Sub-workgroups to discuss and explain the Carl Perkins legislation and the role of the chair in working with each of the 10 componets of a POS.
The meeting included an overview of the Carl Perkins legislation, Programs of Study and the initial work being completed by Tech Prep. It also included a discussion about the agency and its work with the National Research Center for Career and Technical Education and the National POS Institute.
It was a good meeting and much was accomplished. Next up for the Workgroup - Partnerships.

Personal Learning Networks
Yesterday I had the opportunity to speak at the BMITE New Teacher Academy Spring Follow-up meeting.
I enjoy the opportunity to share about blogging, Twitter, RSS feeds and the other tools that I use to sort through all the information that is avaliable on the web. I had a great time talking about Personal Learning Networks and how I use them to provide the professional development I need right at my desktop.
When thinking about the presentation I decided to throw everyone for a loop and just presented off the smart board. It was fun not using a Power Point presentation and just demonstrating what it is I do, the tools I use and showing them the possibilities with a PLN.
I received some great feedback from the participants and look forward to my next opportunity in presenting about the technologies around us.

National Programs of Study Institute
This morning we were informed that Oklahoma is one of the states to receive a grant from the National Research Center for Career and Technical Education (NRCCTE) and we will be participating in the National Programs of Study Institute.
This grant will give our team the opportunity to work with NRCCTE consultants in the further development of the POS for Oklahoma. A total of six team members will attend six sessions over six months. One session will be held at the NRCCTE headquarters, a session in conjunction with the ACTE National Policy Seminar, a session in conjunction with the National Career Cluster Institute and three sessions will be held in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Oklahoma will create an action plan in late July that will address implementation barriers to the POS and team members will participate while participating in Oklahoma's Programs of Study Workgroup.

5 Years Strong!!
Milestones are cool, and I thought I would share this one with you.
On January 9, 2007 we made our first post to the Tech Prep Blog. Now, we celebrate five years of Blogging!
This little experiment has been fun and has grown tremendously from that first post. I want to say thank you for being a part of it all.
