THE Consortium’s Highlight of the Month!
| The Community of Learners highlight for the month of March is the Child Development Council of Franklin County, Inc. (CDC) in Columbus, Ohio!

CDC's most recent meeting was led by technology contact person, Maria Campbell and joined by the contact person, Cheryl Foster, CDC's four-year faculty partner, Tobie Sanders, CDC's new Professional Development Manager, Barbara DeSalvo, and twelve cohort members. Maria started the meeting with the announcement of CDC's plan on continuing COL project with CDC's new Professional Development Manager to ensure the technology training to cohort members after THE Consortium project ends. It is very exciting that CDC is thinking ahead of the growth and development of the cohort members.

The two purposes of the cohort meeting included cohort presentation and preparation for the COL activity for the up coming THE Consortium conference. Three cohort members presented how they have used technology in their work settings. Frances Tibbs, the coordinator of CDC Media and Materials Resource Center, showed the group a videotape of digital photos about her colleagues' work with technology.
Mary Candelaria, who works with CDC's office of Professional Development, showed a poster of brochures she created for trainings. CDC teacher, Carmencita Carter, shared the classroom storybook with her children's illustrations and digital photos of the children. The rest of the cohort members will present at a different time later in the month. What a great chance for the cohort members to showcase how technology has impacted their work.

During the planning of COL activity, Tobie Sanders, CDC's four-year faculty partner, started with an idea for the audience at THE Consortium conference to re-frame CDC's story. The cohort members then started a lively discussion about their journey of incorporating technology to their daily lives. The group formed a committee to prepare the COL activity and collect ideas from the rest of the group.

CDC's meeting was a great example of the spirit of collaboration in action!
Congratulations to CDC for being THE Consortium's Highlight of the Month!
