Local academies will have first priority to register participants, but other LAN Managers are welcome to register if there is space available. The Midwest Internet Institute will be held on August 3 and 4 at Lux Middle School in Lincoln. They are still looking for presentations, so if you know of a teacher who would make a good presentation there, or you know of a presentation you could make yourself, please have us fax you a form so you can send it in.
Presenters receive free admission to the conference, including lunch both days.

Some handouts, worksheets, etc. are even placed on-line. This was a class who can be difficult to keep their attention, yet they sat attentively through the entire presentation.
