What do teachers and students think of the programs they've had through ACELINK?

ACELINK sends out program evaluations to all teachers who participate in a videoconference program that was supported through ACELINK. We collect this information each semester, and then create a summary report of the feedback we receive. Historically, we have an excellent return rate from our teachers, so this is very valuable to us.

Teachers can use these reports to see what programs have been offered through ACELINK, the schools that are requesting them, and how students respond to the programs.

ACENet (Allen County Education Network) serves as a high-speed education collaboration network among the partners to provide multi-media content from both within member sources, and from contracted educational sources both around the nation and internationally.

The mission of ACELINK, which has a dedicated content coordinator, is to organize activities and promote the culture of using Internet technology and other 21st Century skills in learning, sharing and collaboration both in Allen County and beyond.

We provide access to videoconferencing programs through our monthly newsletter, Tandberg Connections program, and other sources.
