The MRVED Summer Professional Development starts next week with Karina Berzins here from the BCA to discuss internet safety. The class begins at 2:00 on Tuesday June 18. There is still room for a couple more people if interested. Call Mary at the MRVED office at 320-269-9297 to register.
Also next week, Chippewa County Family Services will be in house at 9:00 to present on "Life in the Day of a Child Protection Worker". There are still seats available for this training as well. A couple interesting topics from some very reputable people in their fields. Should be a great week of learning.

Minnesota Career Pathways Website
The Minnesota Career Pathways website was created to help Minnesota adult students create career and training plans that will prepare them for a fulfilling career. The website can prepare high school students, college students, and working adults to enter the workforce by providing them with both the academic and technical skills needed to be successful. We accomplish this by partnering with business and industry leaders, providing professional development to teachers and faculty, and connecting students to online career and college resources through our connections to local consortia.
Tech Tip of the Week
Domo Animate
Domo Animate- From the makers of GoAnimate comes Domo Animate. It is a neat way to create or retell a
story. Domo Animate is free and very
easy to use. If you are looking for an
interesting end of the year project, give it a try today! Watch Brandon's review here.
Mary's Pick of the Week
Mybookdroid - This is not a book reader. For those of you who still like reading an actual book, this android app keeps track of the books you have read or want to read. You simply scan the bar code and poof it is entered into the app. With summer coming, you will hopefully have more leisure time for reading and this would be a great way to keep track of your books. You can download it from amazon or google very easily. The iphone has a similar app (i.e. goodreads, ireaditnow). I no longer have to keep a paper/pencil list of books in my purse.
