Call for Practices in afterschool programs

Hello All-

As you may recall, the Academy for Educational Development (AED) is 
organizing a call for Promising Practices in Afterschool Programs (PPAS), 
and we're working with them to identify applications of technology in 
afterschool efforts.  If you feel you have a promising practice to share, 
please review the request below.  Also, when you submit, we ask that you 
enter "YouthLearn" in the field for "Source of Information about PPAS" so 
that we can learn about your work and glean ideas to share with the 
YouthLearn community. 

Best,

Tony
