REMC FOCUS


IN http://remc.org By Sue Schwartz, Executive Director


In the state of Michigan, all teachers face the challenge of being proficient in the use of technology to enhance teaching and learning within their classrooms. Administrators call for it, parents expect it, and students advocate for it. However, teachers across the state have limited time, resources and access to the latest uses of instructional technology.


As budgets continue to be reduced across the state, opportunities for educators to attend conferences and professional development opportunities are becoming very limited. Teachers need access to the latest effective teaching strategies utilizing technology so they can make a greater impact in their instruction.

Ric Wiltse, MACUL Executive Director, has been unanimously elected treasurer of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) board of directors at the board’s meeting in San Diego last June. Ric was elected to the board last year as affiliate representative and is in his second year of a two year term.


Wiltse is pictured receiving the bronze President’s Volunteer Service Award from ISTE Board President Holly Jobe for logging over 230 hours of service to ISTE in the past year. The award was presented in San Diego at the 2012 ISTE conference.
