CMAE presents part 3 of 3 of Chartering the “APPStacle Course” of Digital Learning by Dr. Govan-Hunt.

CMAE presents part 3 of 3, Chartering the “APPStacle Course” of Digital Learning by Dr. Govan-Hunt.

Chartering the "APPStacle Course" of Digital Learning with Dr. Govan-Hunt: Incorporating digital learning into everyday lessons can seem like an "obstacle course". We will visit several types of learning, make it plain, and explore Apps that will be easy to navigate using the Chromebooks since that is the general piece of equipment North Carolina schools use in the classroom.  Participants will earn 1 Digital Learning Credit with the completion of post training activities.

If you did not attend part 1 or part 2, don’t worry, you may still attend part 3.

Click here to Register!
This is a FREE event for members and $20 for non-members.  Registration fee will be taken on-site.  Please bring cash or a check payable to CMAE.  Note "Digital Learning Part 3" on the memo line.

Message From the President – Monthly Meeting – Come Join Us!


CMAE President Lawrence Brinson
Have you ever wondered what goes on at the monthly Mecklenburg NCAE meeting?  Have you considered attending but did not know what to expect?
Well, wonder no more…

We meet in the Lib Harkey Board Room at the Park Road YWCA on the third Thursday of each month. Any NCAE member who wants to attend is welcome. The meeting begins at 5:00 pm and lasts about an hour and a half – sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less, depending upon what the Leadership Team has on the agenda. We also provide refreshments.

What do we discuss? Anything and everything! From educator issues to upcoming events .

Our meetings are informal, but structured with an agenda – which is available, along with a copy of the prior month’s meeting minutes to all attendees.  We entertain questions, comments, and feedback from anyone who comes to the meeting, so if you have anything that you have been wondering about or suggestions you would like to share to make CMAE better, please join us and let’s talk. REGISTER HERE
