What did you do on your summer vacation?
These teachers improved their lesson planning skills.

Sometimes summertime is all about relaxation. But the warm weather can also inspire dedicated teachers to sharpen their curriculum development and technology integration skills between family trips, fireworks and other summer fun.

During the Summer of 2001, the Area VII Learning Technologies Center offered Engaged Learning workshops for Chicago Region I Schools.

The summer ended with a special Instructional Technology Symposium open to all teachers and administrators in the district.
