Using technology to support teaching and learning
Thank you for a great year of learning with technology! August 2010 The MSAD 40 Technology Department is gearing up for an exciting year ahead. We have initiated some changes in our implementation of the Maine Learning Technology Initiative (MLTI) program at MMS and MVHS for school year 2010-2010 to provide better communication to families and students as they use the laptop computers to enhance their educational experience. The laptops are the same but there are new updates and software available to students and parents. We will post information on Parent and Student MLTI Meeting soon - check back to this web page form more information. At each of the schools, we will working with their staff to help families wishing to start using the Infinite Campus Parent Portal and answer any questions for current users. Look for more information from your student's school or contact the technology department with questions about IC Parent Portal. Enjoy the rest of this wonderful summer! Thank you.
