PRISM- Pioneering Resource in the State of Maine
An Incredible Opportunity from the Libra Foundation....

Acadia University is pleased to be working with the Maine Learning Teaching Initiative this coming summer to offer schools from the state of Maine an opportunity to come to the beautiful Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia, for a week long technology training program in July. The PRISM (Pioneering
Resource in the State of Maine) began last summer and will bring teams to the Acadia University campus to work on a technology integration project of their choice. School teams will identify a community based website project that can be used to help students achieve curricular outcomes and enhance classroom teaching.

On the program website: http://aitt.acadiau.ca/prism you will find a description of our program and its elements, an application form, important dates, eligibility for school participation, curricular focus, and
objectives, as well as accommodation information and tourist information.

Teams will have until Friday, May 30, 2003 to apply and will be notified of their acceptance in early June. All expenses paid!

If you have any questions about the program, please email Judy Noel Walsh, Project Manager at judy.noel.walsh@acadiau.ca
