“I’ve been involved with The Franklin Institute since the SLN project began in 1995 and it has totally made a difference in the way I teach. In my classroom, we work in groups on a regular basis and access all kinds of information from the web. Mary Lee Malen and I have four or five projects on the web that we constantly use with our students. This was really the shot in the arm that I needed after being a teacher for twenty-five years.”

“I have been in the PACTS program for about five years. I started out attending workshops on Saturdays, and now I perform shows and presentations. PACTS has helped my ability for public speaking, and helps me when I’m inside and outside The Franklin Institute. I have had a lot of fun in this program, and now I have the opportunity to work at The Institute giving shows and presentations.”

“Working as a member of the Educational Technology Team has provided me with tremendous opportunities to expand my skills and familiarity with cutting-edge technologies. I believe our programs have a meaningful educational impact because they address educators’ needs twenty-four hours a day, through vibrant online resources and interactive communities that exist solely to aid the educational process. It’s rewarding, personally and professionally, to be a part of a team that really makes a difference.”
