21st Century High School Teacher Laptop Professional Development

Here is a link on www.MaineLearns.org about the State's plan to give all High School Teachers laptops and professional development. The purpose behind this is to help high schools in Maine have all students “career, college and citizenship ready” in the 21st Century. The teachers are getting MacBooks, with tons or great software on them. The high school teachers will also have access to StudyWiz. For those of you that don't know what StudyWiz is, think of Moodle, only cleaner looking, and a little bit easier for teachers to use. They also have NoteShare, DataStudio, and lots of other software. How with all of this effect that the state of Maine has put into this, let's hope that this will help enable the teachers to enable technology into the classroom, and help convince our government to start a MLTI program for all high school students like they do for our 7th and 8th grade students.
