Hi Tammy,
Here is a list of schools I gave to Ignite last August. I know Dan also selected schools for donated COWS in the
past, but I do not have that list at my fingertips. I have some saved email as well. DO you want me to forward
everything to you?
Lisa
Todd - FYI Neil called this morning and I told him - in response to his question - that you and Lisa are on top of
this and managing it. It was for many reasons he called (all good) but since this question and answer did
transpire, wanted to loop you in. Regards, Doug

Attached is a revised (and final) list of schools. I am working with Todd to set up a training day here at HCDE.
The plan is to ship the COWs directly to the schools.

Subject: Haris County COWs
There are 14 Harris County COWs going out very shortly as a result of two donations: Apache and COSI. Lisa
Felske, the science gal at the Harris County Department of Education, found the first schools and will locate
others as new donations come in. You both should meet with her to share your knowledge of the areas you serve
in case that will be helpful to her in finding schools for the next wave of COWs, and there will be many next
waves. Also you need to communicate with her and copy Doug Kleiner about arranging orientations. The sooner
the better for the first set of COWs. The list is attached. Call Lisa and confirm what communication has taken
place with the schools to notify them that they are about to receive this great gift.

Lisa,
When you get an opportunity, would you please email me the contact name for the
elementary Rice Model Lab Science program? Thanks! And here is the list of all of the
Apache/Shell teachers along with their email addresses. (I starred the absent teachers.) I
will forward you a link to my pictures as soon as I get them downloaded from my camera.

Shell COWS 2006
Tammy Lanier
Good news! 14 COWs are in route to Houston in time for the Aug 21 st orientation at HCDE. Since I was not part
of the meeting between the three of you, how are each of the schools receiving COWs being contacted and
invited to the event on the 21Sl? Are all of the schools on board with not only receiving the COW, but also
attending the orientation?
Now that Shell has stepped up to provide 10 COWs, there will be another 10 new COW users to interface with an
addition to the current 15 and invite to the same Aug 21 s1 event.
The one COW that is not indicated below is for Horace Mann in Goose Creek. I will provide that address to Team
Austin for immediate shipment.

I was forwarded your message. I have met your husband but I haven't had the pleasure
of meeting with you as of yet. We will do everything in our power to make sure we align
training with the available dates you have provided. With your permission I would I like to
call you either later today or tomorrow to discuss some of the details. One question I have
is who at these districts are aware of this? I happen to be meeting with Guy Sconzo, the
Supt. at Humble ISD in a couple of weeks. Will he know about this or may we tell him?

someone at the following schools:
A room is available for training at HCDE on August, 21, 24, 25, 28 and 31. We also have Sept. 5, 6, and 8

Amanda and English, as you may know, Lisa Felske has been busy identifying needy schools to receive donated
COWs. There are 14 COWs that will be deployed through the elev8 and the Adopt a COW Program.
The training piece is critical. Please check your schedules to identify your availability on the dates Lisa has
pointed out.

Lisa,
I wanted to let you know that I spoke with Harriet Smith, the Dean of Instruction at
Attucks Middle, about the donated Science COW. She is excited about the opportunity,
and she will be choosing a dedicated, enthusiastic Science COW user and either emailing
you or calling you with his or her name.
Harriet, please include the teacher's email address in your communication with Lisa. We
need to have a way to contact all of the COW users, and email seems to work the best!
Thank you,
Amanda

I wanted to check to make sure that you all received your Science COWs and that you
were able to put them together successfully. Have you started using them? Are your
students enjoying the COW? Please let me know how things are going.
I also wanted to inform you about the next two training dates so that we can have 100%
participation:
May 10, 2007: Room 502 (on 5th floor of parking garage)
These trainings are from 2:00-4:00 pm and they are a mandatory part of the grant.
Please put them on your calendars now so that you will be able to make it. I will be
scheduling make-up orientations with those of you who did not attend the first training.

Allow me Amanda.
We have decals for Apache COWs and need to put them on. We are waiting for decals for Shell and COCI and
will then place them on ourselves or ask the COW users to do that with instructions as to where on the COW.
bp COWs have been deployed in LA and are labeled with their own custom label. We will be conducting an
orientation in Austin for 7 more COW users in Sept when those COWs are deployed.

At this time, are individual COWs funded through elev8 labeled as Shell or Apache COWs? Are the COCI COWs
not labeled?
Has Ignite deployed COWs for BP at this time? If so, did they go green or are they labeled in a manner similar to
Apache or Shell COWs?

Ignite! Learning has developed and released a new Science video on Pluto's status in
the solar system. You can view the video on YouTube at http://www .voutubecorn/watch?
v=g2bN5KsCWZ8.
Those of you with Science COWs will have the video plus an interactive media piece on
Pluto added to your COWs for your teachers to use in their classrooms. If you want to
read more about the release, please see the attached document.

The company has made the video available for free on You Tube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2bN5KsCWZ8andonitsownwebsiteignitelearning.com. When
current events relate to core content areas (such as how we classify objects in our solar system),
teachers face the challenge and opportunity of seizing a teachable moment. As a way of supporting
teachers' efforts, Ignite! will from time to time make available topical science and social studies
animations.
The video also highlights the fact that, compared to giant textbook companies, a small educational
media company can more nimbly make curriculum updates in response to current events.
Ignite! produces educational media targeted to middle schools and upper elementary. Besides
science, the company also has a social studies curriculum, and is currently developing a math
course. For more information about Ignite! Learning visit: ignitelearning.com
