Have you ever heard of MACUL? (see link above). It's a great opportunity for teachers in Michigan to learn more about technology and technology integration. There are awesome speakers as well as workshops and breakout sessions to attend. Last year I attended workshops on using cell phones in the classroom. (No, I don't mean to call home or text my BFF during class!). Liz Klob, the author of From Toys to Tools provides practical uses for cell phones that will engage students in the learning process. One of the highlights of the 2010 conference was to hear Hall Davidson (http://www.halldavidson.net/). Check out his site with videos and handouts....a plethora of resources!
The conference for 2011 is March 16-18 in Detroit Michigan. I'm really excited about the conference for a couple of reasons:
- Kelly Shumway (LMS Science Teacher) and Michelle Endsley (LMS Technology Teacher) are presenting this year @ MACUL!
- The Viking Vanguard group may have the opportunity to attend the conference and then share the information with our teachers. (Tim is working on funding for our group to attend)
So... save the date...March 16th-18th for the 2011 MACUL conference. This is also an opportunity to receive SB-CEU's for your teacher certification.
