Wendy Drexler ====The EETT Research Team congratulates you and your district on the award of a 2010 EETT Competitive grant. The team includes researchers from the Florida Department of Education, University of Florida, University of South Florida, Florida State University, the Florida Center for Interactive Media and the Florida Center for Instructional Technology.====

Ryan Wilke, Florida Center for Interactive Media (FSU)
====We will all be working together to document the impact of this funding in your district and throughout the state. As such, your district will receive an interim and final report based on the data you provide. We will also compile an interim and final report that aggregates data from all the funded districts.==== ====There are a number of online tools that participating teachers, administrators and district leaders will use to provide data related to the impact of this funding. We will discuss these tools with you via a conference call coordinated by the Florida Department of Education in the coming weeks. We will also support you should additional questions arise about the tools or the research and evaluation process.==== ====To facilitate this process, please identify the primary contact person for your grant and send me this person’s name, title, phone number and email address. This should be the person who is responsible for grant management and documentation.==== ====In addition, we will provide support for a district level MDE (if you have one) who can serve as a liaison between the research team and your classroom teachers. Please send me the name of this contact, also. This person should be organized, detail-oriented, able to work effectively with teachers and able to manage the demands of full-time employment with additional duties as a liaison with your classroom teachers. Ideally, this person will have flexibility in their schedule so they can meet with teachers in person at certain times during your project. We will work with FCIT to review the existing MDEs or determine if a person is available in your district if you do not have someone in mind.==== ====Research and evaluation purchase orders (reflecting 5% of your grant award total) should be issued to the University of Florida and sent to me at the address provided below. I am also your main point of contact on the research team. Don't hesitate to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns. If I can't answer your question, I will quickly determine who can.====
