Now that the Maine Learning Technology Initiative has been replaced by “MLTI v2.0,” a couple of things are clear.

• First, the arrival of the original MLTI was unique, forever changing the education world in Maine (and around the world!). It was an education innovation of the first degree.
• Secondly, as folks move into retirement, and sadly some pass away, it is time to act. We have to be sure that the folks who were involved in the early days of this amazing chapter in Maine’s education history all have a chance to be heard from. 

With support from ACTEM and the Maine Historical Society (MHS), we have started collecting video conversations and sharing the full conversations on this page (ACTEM.org/MLTIstories) and excerpts through a dedicated “Education” section within the Maine Historical Society’s “My Maine Stories” website (mainememory.net/mymainestories/topic/education).

Please feel free to share this content across your school community, and make use of it in considering innovations of today. Brief clips that make specific points about the early days of the original MLTI are available through this YouTube playlist - MLTI Stories Clips: bit.ly/MLTI-clips - with full conversations available here - MLTI Full Conversations: bit.ly/MLTI-full 

In addition we will also be seeking to collect artifacts from those earliest days. Do you have handouts, CDs or DVDs, photographs, flyers, or any other content that played a role in the early days of MLTI? Please consider contributing them to the collection.
