This Mouse Squad Digital Meet-Up will be held on November 20 at 4pm EST--we hope to see you there!

Check out a recording of this Digital Meet-Up below, and be sure to check out notes from this discussion here.

This month's Meet-Up will be led by Ashleigh Jensen, Mouse Squad Coordinator for both the KMS Squad at Kuna Middle School and the KHS Kaverats at Kuna High School in Kuna, Idaho. In addition to sharing out some of the great work that her Squads have done (with the help of some of her Squad Members!), Ashleigh will be sharing some of her experience in grantwriting and fundraising for Mouse Squad and other tech initiatives at the schools she works with.

Remind me--what's a Mouse Squad Digital Meet-Up?

Starting in Fall 2013, Mouse Squad Digital Meet-Ups will be held every month during the school year. At each Meet-Up, you'll have the chance to hear a featured Mouse Squad Coordinator and their students talk about the work they're doing, how they run their Squad, and the best practices they've uncovered for tackling great projects at their site. Many meet-ups will also feature a focused discussion on a theme of general interest, either tied directly to Mouse Squad or related more generally to tech-ed, public education, digital media, etc.

For new Mouse Squad Coordinators, these meet-ups will be a great opportunity to hear from experienced Coordinators and begin to plan for your new Squad. For both new and experienced Coordinators, we hope that these meet-ups will be a forum for you to network with colleagues across the country, collect new project ideas, troubleshoot challenges in your Squad, and more.
