MACUL Space

connecting educators & enhancing learning

Welcome to MACUL Space!

The Michigan Association for Computer Users in Learning (MACUL) is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing educators from all levels together to share their knowledge and concerns about technology in education.

Getting Started!

MACUL Space is a place for past, present, and future MACUL members to stay connected, learn from one another, and gain first hand experience with powerful Web 2.0 tools. Not sure where to start? You could read or reply to a BLOG POST or a FORUM discussion, watch a few VIDEOS, start your own personal BLOG here on MACUL Space, or join a Special Interest Group for a more focused discussion.
