<div style="color:black;font: 14pt Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><font size="4">Everyone: The latest news from the ODE has two segments of potential value by the gifted ed community. One references an article in the Columbus Dispatch that tells of overlooked resources that now offer online learning enhancement for students. Museums, zoos and other cultural attractions typically provide this option. As you read the article, you may think of similar resources near you throughout Ohio. And, teachers and students may be able to tap into such prospects outside their own counties. Two, tech students might benefit from information in another segment of today's ODE news: IT opportunities. Help-desks run locally by students can help an array of people with their tech skills, as the segment suggests. Good luck to all as we adjust to new ways of teaching and learning.</font><br>

</strong>Ohio’s K-12 schools will continue remote learning for the rest of the current academic year and there is no guarantee that won’t continue in the fall. Gov. Mike DeWine made the announcement this week during his daily media briefing, saying that despite a positive trend, the coronavirus continues... DeWine said no decision about the 2020-21 school year has been made but hinted there could be a blended system.</div>

<strong>Toledo Blade</strong><br>
With a 94-member senior class spread out over 23 ZIP code districts, the Toledo School for the Arts would have been hard-pressed to stage a teachers’ parade for its students the way some conventional neighborhood schools have done during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. But this week, the downtown school’s central-office staff — including principal Letha Ferguson — have been making sure the Class of 2020 can at least celebrate its impending graduation with caps and gowns and yard signs.</div>

<strong>Toledo CBS-11</strong><br>
Bowling Green City Schools announced its finalized plans for graduation. Usually, high school seniors walk across the stage at the Stroh Center. This year, they'll be driving around their area in a parade. Superintendent Francis Scruci says this idea has been in the works for a few weeks as their back-up plan to not having an actual graduation... They are still going to read names and they're still having seniors send in videos addressing their class, during a virtual commencement.</div>

<strong>Marion Star<br>
</strong>River Valley High School seniors are receiving some public recognition thanks to social media. District officials are posting photographs and biographies of each of the 145 members of the Class of 2020 on Facebook so that family and friends can pay tribute to them, at least in a virtual manner... In a normal academic year, she said, senior photographs and biographies would be posted on the physical walls of the high school hallways.</div>

<strong>Marion Star<br>
</strong>#InThisTogether has become the mantra for many during the coronavirus pandemic. And it's the theme for a video that Elgin High School staff members have produced to encourage their students and families during what has been a difficult time for many... The video, which runs 2 minutes and 58 seconds, features images of Elgin High School teachers and staff members displaying encouraging messages. The Comets marching band supplies the background music for about half of the video.</div>

<strong>Cincinnati FOX-19<br>
</strong>Three Hamilton moms have started a special social media project for seniors who are missing out on events and activities because of the coronavirus pandemic... They started Hamilton’s “Adopt a Senior” program on social media after seeing a similar idea come to fruition in another state... Relatives of Hamilton seniors post a picture (on the Facebook group) of their senior in the group with a short biography. Then, anyone in the community, whether it be a teacher, a neighbor or a stranger, can “adopt” the seniors by commenting on their pictures and committing to the cause. Next, the “adopters” send the students they have “adopted" surprises.</div>

<strong>Education Dive</strong><br>
Before the pandemic, in-person student tech internships, apprenticeships and other models of career and technical education were taking off as a majority of states enacted policies to support CTE. Now that schools have closed, educators are finding ways to continue these programs remotely. When it comes to tech support, these models not only give students hands-on experience and credit in a lucrative career field, they provide schools with valuable in-house resources.</div>
