REMC Statewide $AVE Bid Project is kicking off our MACUL Space Group as we prepare to head to MACUL '09 at Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan!

If you will be among the 4,000+ registered to attend MACUL '09, we invite you to Stop, Learn & Go! visit the REMC $AVE Bid Project in booth 427 between the Model Classroom and the Internet Kiosk. We’ll have two mini-theaters in the booth, with presentations on digital cameras, document cameras, podcasting, and MiStreamNet throughout the conference. Presenters will include Andy Mann, Carolyn McCarthy, and Melissa White. Products available through the bid will be on display, including interactive whiteboards, document cameras, digital cameras and much more!

On Thursday, March 19 from 1:00 to 2:00 pm in room O2-35 Cobo Center, REMC will host a session on using the REMC $AVE Bid to “Build-a-Bundle” of interactive classroom technology. See and learn how to work with REMC vendors to put together a classroom that includes interactive whiteboards, document cameras, multimedia projectors and classroom amplification systems.

Drawings for great prizes will be held in the booth and at the session, so stop by to get your name in.

The REMC booth was fun ! We even tried to rock out with Guitar Hero n Rock Band, but unfortunately technology got in the way and blocked the signals!

I have a request for the Face-Off :) Could you make sure that the new ActivArena from Promethean is there? There are LOTS of us in the state that would love to see how Promethean's multi-touch input works.
