 TWC Education Connection

Happy New Year!  The January issue of Time Warner Cable’s education newsletter is featuring unique Cable in the Classroom educational resources for teachers, students, and parents. 

The purpose of this newsletter is to update you on the current Cable in the Classroom resources that are available for you to videotape and download off the Internet for use in your classroom or at home. Using this technology will help to better engage your students in the subject matter.  Website links are provided for downloading lesson plans. 

We are hoping you will forward this newsletter letter to a colleague who would find this information useful.  For more information on CIC or questions about this newsletter, contact eric.kantor@twcable.com.

The Gift of Recognition

The holiday break and a new year make this a good time for reflection and renewal. Each of us probably has vivid memories of an educator who inspired us. And you who work with and for children are, no doubt, inspiring tomorrow's teachers, scientists, and leaders. You do this because you love the work and the children. But a little recognition would be nice. Cable's Leaders in Learning Awards will honor dynamic, creative individuals who are making a difference in their school or community. Nominate someone you know or apply yourself at www.leadersinlearningawards.org.
