[neact] Upcoming teacher professional development programs in September

Three professional development programs later this September:

In last year?s Speak Up 2007 Report, Project Tomorrow?s annual survey of
teachers,
parents, and students focusing on technology in schools, teachers expressed a
growing need for online professional development programs. The survey
showed a 29%
increase in teacher interest in online programs from the previous year. To
learn
more about current trends and what people are saying, sign up for Project
Tomorrow?s
upcoming webinar, Learning in the 21st Century: A Trends Update
