Events & Professional Development

MEGA holds professional development sessions four times each year. The meetings are usually 3 hours long, held after school or on a Saturday morning. Two meetings are held in the fall, two in the spring. The last spring meeting, often the first week of May, is the MEGA Showcase. Students and their teachers volunteer to exhibit their multimedia and Web projects.

Technology renewal credits are available for teachers who participate. Teachers who cannot attend in person can still benefit by using the resources found on this Web page.
