INFOhio's 2008-2009 toolkit has some recent changes to bring to your attention:
 

	In the Slide Library, INFOhio’s in-service overview PowerPoint has been revised. Think INFOhio… 21st Century Tools Supporting 21st Century Learning, has a few new slides (near the end), and a couple errors have been corrected. A list of revisions to the PPT can be found in the notes for slide #1. Ohio educators are encouraged to use the presentation for building and district meetings to highlight INFOhio's new resources. You are welcome to tailor the PPT to your audience and time restrictions; simply hide those slides that you don't want to use. Adding your own slides for local updates is fine, too. Check regularly for updates.
	In the Supply List, all promotional materials – bookmarks, student cards, poster and flier – are ready to download. Blank and password-protected versions are available for all items. An order form for commercially printed handouts is available to print and submit with your purchase order; INFOhio's printer offers ER fliers, bookmarks, magnets, pencils and student cards at modest prices. Remember, INFOhio providers will distribute enough fliers for your instructional staff to all schools automated with INFOhio. Other districts/buildings can order their fliers by e-mailing the number needed and the local contact's name to central@infohio.org.
	Also in the Supply List is a press release that explains Changes to INFOhio’s Core Collection of Electronic Resources for 2008-2009. The release can be adapted for building/district publications.
	In Webmaster Technical Information, all URLs for direct links to INFOhio's Core Collection resources – including those resources new for 2008-2009 – have been listed, along with other information useful for building/district webmasters and technology coordinators. Please make sure your colleagues are aware of this page.
	A bit overwhelmed about all the changes to INFOhio’s products and services? Visit the toolkit's What’s New for the 2008-2009 School Year. A concise list is available, along with links to learn more.

The starting point for all these changes is the INFOhio Toolkit. Use the left menu link on almost every INFOhio Web page or the direct URL, http://www.infohio.org/Toolkit.html. Let INFOhio know how we can help you serve Ohio’s PreK-12 students, parents and educators. Have a great school year!
