MACUL FOLLOW UP

In March, the REMC 2Central team attended MACUL in Detroit. We partnered with fellow REMC members from Kent-ISD and Char-Em ISD and presented tips on the Modern Classroom Project. We also attended sessions on AI in the classroom, tech tools to use, and many other topics. REMC 2Central will be looking to sponsor two attendees next year.
