ACELINK is again offering up to three FREE interactive videoconferencing programs for teachers and school staff in the Allen County Education Network in Indiana.

Some of our favorite content providers include COSI Columbus, National Baseball Hall of Fame, Mote Marine Lab's SeaTrek, Center for Puppetry Arts, and Cleveland Museum of Art. Plus, enjoy local programs from McMillen Center for Health Education and Science Central.

To learn about programs offered each month and read highlights on content providers, teachers and school staff can subscribe to the monthly ACELINK e-mail newsletter at the link below. Many programs are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and the newsletter typically comes out at the beginning of the month. Teachers can find your own content provider, request an ACELINK-recommended program, or ask us to help you find an appropriate program. We'll make the rest easy for you!

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. We also sponsor original content programs that transform the classroom into an environment where interactive learning is extended beyond the classroom into a world of global learning. Students in Allen County are participating in interactive videoconferences, town hall meetings, collaborations, and other special programs and events.
