Funding
Participants from the test sites for the NSF UTMOST project will have first priority for funding, though we may support travel for a few participants with a demonstrated interest and experience in using Sage in educational settings.
Mailing Lists
The mailing list for Sage Days 41, will be used for Education Days also (once created). Please add yourself to this list if you are not already on it. This will be the primary vehicle for announcements, and last-minute changes during the week.
There is also a list specifically for discussing education and Sage.

Projects
Sage Days typically allow a great deal of unstructured time to work on projects, either in groups or with the assistance of experts that are available. Please plan to have a project to work on. Examples could be:
- Learning a new area of Sage in preparation for teaching a course.
- Preparing worksheets for a course.
- Learning how to create interacts for the Sage library.
- Learning how to contribute new code to Sage.
(wstein): Work on my free open Sage book: http://code.google.com/p/sage-power-book/
- Organization of Sage educational resources
- rating of worksheets?
- tagging, organization of available options
- suggestion from chemistry: set up committees to curate resources so that faculty get service credit
