---Digital Camera Contest Begins, TecEds Database Collects Activities---

The TecEds (Technology in Education Can Empower Deaf Students) project is collecting activities that integrate technology into interactions with students. With each database submission, teachers and staff who work with deaf or hard of hearing students earn an entry into a contest for a Kodak digital camera. For more information about the TecEds database or to see or submit entries, visit: http://clerccenter2.gallaudet.edu/teceds/activity.

More information about the TecEds project can be found at: http://clerccenter.gallaudet.edu/teceds/index.html.

---Software to Go Database Grows, Accepts New Software Evaluations---

Software to Go is a clearinghouse for sharing software evaluation information among parents, educational programs, and agencies concerned with the educational needs of deaf and hard of hearing individuals. The growing database of evaluations, which can be searched by grade level, primary subject area, instructional mode, and/or title, is accepting more entries. Visit:
http://clerccenter2.gallaudet.edu/stg/index.html for more information about Software to Go, to search and read software reviews, or to contribute evaluations.

---Red Cross Support, Parent Weekend Described in Happenings---

A regular feature of On the Green (http://pr.gallaudet.edu/otg), a publication for Gallaudet University faculty and staff, the Clerc Center Happenings column in November describes the Kendall Demonstration Elementary School (KDES) students' Red Cross fund-raising drive. The article explains the "Every Penny Makes a Difference" campaign, how the students learned from the experience, and how the effort raised more than $800. The article can be read at: http://clerccenter.gallaudet.edu/Clearinghouse/Happenings/red-cross.html.

Another Clerc Center Happenings article describes the Parent Weekend held at the Model Secondary School for the Deaf (MSSD) in October. With a theme of "Many Hands Together," the weekend workshops, presentations, and other activities encouraged family involvement. The article can be read at: http://clerccenter.gallaudet.edu/Clearinghouse/Happenings/parents-weekend.html.

Both articles are also accessible (along with the archives) from the Clerc Center Happenings Web site: http://clerccenter.gallaudet.edu/Clearinghouse/Happenings/index.html.
