Put atpe.org to work for you
The ATPE Web site is chock-full of information, but busy educators don’t always have time to check it for new content. No worries—atpe.org now publishes an RSS feed so you can be notified through your RSS reader when the site is updated.
RSS stands for “Really Simple Syndication.” How you subscribe to an RSS feed depends on the particular reader, such as Bloglines or Google Reader, that you use. (The URL for the feed is www.atpe.org/atpeupdates.aspx.) ATPE’s RSS feed will notify you when new Legislative Updates, Book of the Month Club selections and more are posted.
Site visitors might have noticed another addition at the top of some atpe.org pages: “Share on Facebook” and “Share on Twitter” buttons. If you read information at atpe.org that you’d like to share with your Facebook friends or Twitter followers, click on the appropriate icon near the top right of the page. You can also click on the envelope icon to easily e-mail someone an atpe.org link.

ATPE convention theme proclaimed “super”
“Homeroom Heroes,” the promotional campaign for the 29th Annual ATPE State Convention, is flying high. ATPE received a silver award for “Homeroom Heroes” in the convention marketing campaign category of the EXCEL Awards, which are presented by the Society of National Association Publications (SNAP).
The campaign was one of 181 winners selected from nearly 1,000 entries across all EXCEL award categories. Award-winning entries were displayed at a July awards gala in Washington, D.C., and featured in the July/August issue of Association Publishing, the SNAP magazine.
The “Homeroom Heroes” campaign featured illustrations by ATPE communications assistant Cam Todd and was designed by graphic designer Erica Friloux. Copy editor/writer Mandy Murray and editor Kate Johanns wrote the promotional copy.
