Airborne for Beyond!
~ The 2008 MLTI Summer Institute ~

Maine Maritime Academy, Castine

Leave your wingtips at home. Bring your most casual seasonal garb,  
pack your bags and embark on what will be an excellent learning  
adventure. Passports are not required for this excursion. Strap on  
your best attitude and be prepared to gain some altitude.

The airship sails Wednesday, July 23 and lands on the afternoon on  
Friday, July 25…TWO FULL DAYS OF GREAT CONTENT crammed into three!  
Extended learning sessions designed to provide real, hands-on,  
classroom-tested strategies for improving student involvement and  
achievement by integrating technology and art in the core content  
areas - better than alchemy!

The focus on home-grown heavy hitters continues with a keynote and  
workshop presentations by Randy Judkins. He is a dazzling star in his  
own right, plus he is a member of the Maine Hysterical Society – not  
to be confused with the organization of a similar name that created  
maninememory.net and the subject of presentations at the Institute as  
well. You may be familiar with Randy’s world, renowned juggling  
performances, his mind-bending leadership workshops, and his esteem- 
building seminars. What you may not know is that Randy invented the  
Internet!

Wait - that may be wrong. Randy is, in fact, the alter-ego of the  
amazing Dr. Rhombus, the world’s foremost authority on “Mathmagics”  
and Harley Horatio Hotshot, native of the streets of New York, or was  
that New Gloucester, anyway Hotshot dazzles audiences with his “1000  
cc, four-stroke, 2-cylinder monocycle with power brakes, air- 
conditioning, overhead seat, and four wheel drive (minus three).”  
Randy will be working with us entering as yet unexplored dimensions  
of his skill set and ours! This is a chance to go way beyond boxes,  
not just merely outside them!

Plus, if you’re driven to gain new skills sets and content knowledge  
you’ll have more than twenty-five other great sessions in all the  
core content areas from which to choose.

Can’t find a workshop that meets your needs? You can make up your own  
at Inspiration Station! This is the place to jump off into creativity  
galore, and pick up a cold drink and snack, with the help of trained,  
experienced coach/mentors who are at your beckon call! Bring your  
most puzzling, perplexing, teaching problems and together we can  
solve them or at least give it the old “college try!”  Bring along a  
great idea, share it and you just might win an iPod or one of many  
other great prizes.
