Maine Adult Education is holding a Virtual Conference on Thursday, May 28, 2020 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There are over 25 workshops offered on this day to support educators as they offer online learning. Vendors will also have "virtual booths" so that participants can stop by and chat, download materials, and more.  The registration fee is $50 per person and continuing education hours will be tracked. All workshops will be recorded for later viewing. Please check out the wide variety of offerings at https://maineadulted.org/registration-2020/.  Registration is now open. Stay safe and healthy!
