First Annual

Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, North Adams, Massachusetts
Silvio O. Conte Middle School, North Adams, Massachusetts

A Conference for Teachers,
Technology Coordinators, and Administrators
The first annual
conference held on April 28 and 29th was a great success.
Technology educators from across the Berkshires
came together to share ideas and pool
resources. By learning about the kinds of projects and teaching ideas
already underway and by getting to know one another, we have begun to to
collaborate on curriculum-related projects and grants.
