For three years, more than 1,000 foundation grants have been made for educational purposes. Grants are awarded teachers each year through the San Diego Teacher's Fund, designed to provide funding to elementary public school teachers who develop innovative projects for classroom use. Flora Vista Elementary School teachers Elin Evans and Marilyn Green were recipients. Cardiff Elementary School teachers Barbara Hall, Jan Hamilton and Kim Douillard also received grants. The event is open to the public free of charge.
Parking is available in campus lots for a nominal charge.
Faculty members will demonstrate web sites they have developed to support classroom instruction. There will be demonstrations of web course management tools, which show the entire process of moving course materials to the web, including streaming video and audio. Other demonstrations will show desktop video conferencing, personal information management tools, large-format color printing, and a new system that allows students to pay for classes using credit cards on the Cal State San Marcos website. Today's college entrance requirements are more confusing than ever.
