Thanks, Alice for posting to the tech integrators list - I realize that not
everyone here subscribes to the full ACTEM list.
My apologies in advance for cross posting!

Last time I posted, I was so excited to send the information about the
Summer Technology Institute in Belfast (June 25-29)  (http://UMaineSTI.org
) that I forgot to mention UMaine's Summer Classes that might be of
interest to educators.  Please post and pass around.
