What They Do

MACUL helps educators identify sound educational practices related to technology as well as understand the implications of rapid changes in technology.  Recognizing the challenges in preparing students, we strive to encompass the entire educational community from preschool through college level.

MACUL is a force in building professional coalitions with organizations including the Michigan Virtual University, the Michigan Department of Education, AT&T, and others to benefit educators and students in the integral use of technology in education.

We are an organizational affiliate of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE).
