Nine inspirational sessions will be held during the 2016 MACUL Conference. These sessions are made available through the REMC Association/MACUL partnership formed several years ago to serve more educators throughout Michigan.

Game Design in the classroom, It’s easy as pie
Classrooms Infused with Blended Tech Things
Tech Friendly & Tech Fun -- Standards, Assessments, & Projects for Middle School Success
Programming In The Content Areas: Anybody Can TEACH It!
Progressing 365 Degrees in the Classroom
Transform Meetings & Professional Learning from Sit ‘n’ Git, to Connection and Engagement!
We look forward to seeing you there and sharing new strategies, tools, ideas and resources with you.
