ACTEM will be hosting its 4th Spring Leadership Conference this year on May
4, 2021.  Under these continuing uncertain times, ACTEM has decided that
the best option for everyone's safety is to offer a virtual conference for
Maine educators this spring.  We will be using the same event platform, *Hopin
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpErMqMyNN4>*, as the conference last
fall.  Our Spring Leadership Conference features workshops for the
Technology Directors and their staff in Maine schools & districts. The
theme for the 2021 Spring Leadership Conference will be *Adapting to the
Times: Supporting Learning Through Technology.*

*Cha-Cha-Changes: Frontline Lessons from the Learning Revolution* - The

things are improving, as well as the hurdles that remain.
