Do you have an idea that you think would make a difference in Cleveland? We’d like to help you make it happen. The Cleveland Colectivo is seeking projects to support.

The Colectivo is a group of friends, neighborhoods and colleagues. We pool our funds and share our energy to invest it back into projects that we see as worthwhile and exciting in Cleveland. Each member contributes to the Colectivo quarterly and together we choose projects to support. Every month we gather to discuss ideas, learn about area initiatives and organizations, network with a growing circle of members, and continue building the Colectivo.

Create picture collages of famous Americans with Picasa. Find out what Virginia newspapers had to say about the Civil War in 1862 with Google News Archive Search. Check out the pyramids in Egypt with Google Earth, and then build your own with SketchUp.

We’ve been hearing about some pretty cool assignments from classrooms across the U.S. where teachers at all grade levels are using Google products to bring history lessons to life, illuminate new sources of information, and encourage sharing and collaboration. What we’ve also heard loud and clear is that teachers want more information about using Google products, and more connections to other educators who are using the web creatively. This is why we’ve launched a set of resources for K-12 educators today at the new Google for Educators site. Here you'll find teachers’ guides for 12 Google products, including basic information about each, examples of how educators are using them, plus lesson ideas. We’re also offering some additional multimedia content, including lesson plans and videos from Discovery Education that use Google Earth and SketchUp, and a series of podcasts at Infinite Thinking Machine on innovative ways to use the web in the classroom.

A spire built to inspire
Is this the future breezing into town?

It seems only fitting that the man who agreed to lead a struggling urban university at age 64 would now want to put a windmill on its campus.

But when the man is Michael Schwartz and the institution Cleveland State University, Don Quixote analogies quickly crumble.

For one thing, CSU's president isn't talking about a typical three-blade structure like the one that now stands by the Great Lakes Science Center. For another, he expects it to carry far more than symbolic value; ideally, this SmartEnergy Spire eventually will blow lots of dollars directly toward CSU's bottom line.

The Ohio Department of Transportation is interested in your thoughts regarding the design of the new Central Viaduct bridge over the Cuyahoga River Valley. ODOT is currently considering three bridge types (steel arch, two-tower cable stay and a single tower cable stay).

Renderings of the three bridge types may be viewed and comments submitted by visiting our website: www.innerbelt.org. Click on the Central Viaduct icon and then on the link labeled "Click Here to see the Central Viaduct Bridge Types."
