Every year, Team MAET looks forward to connecting with area educators at the Michigan Association of Computer Users in Learning (MACUL) Conference — it gives us a chance to meet online students in person, reconnect with our alumni, and meet educational professionals from across the region. On Thursday, March 8, some of the students, instructors, and alumni attending the conference came together for a quick meet-up and #MAET photo:
We also love having the chance to attend the many sessions facilitated by members of the MAET community! If you weren’t able to participate in person this year, use the hashtags #MAET and #MACUL18 for a recap of the conversation.
This year, MAET hosted a Recharging Station throughout the duration of the conference. This offered attendees the opportunity to recharge their devices (which tend to get quite a workout at MACUL), pick up a bookmark with self-care resources for teachers, and share their own personal ‘recharging’ strategies. We’ve compiled those strategies below. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to contribute ideas! Let’s continue the conversation online — share your strategies for self care with us @MAET on Twitter!
