TWICE
TWICE (Two Way Interactive Connections in Education) is a newly established organization that promotes and supports collaborative connections using two way interactive video for the benefit of Michigan students. This web site was launched in the spring of 2001.

SouthwestNet Distance Learning Collaborative
This is a regional project of 20 public school districts in Berrien and Cass Counties, including the Berrien and the Lewis-Cass Intermediate School Districts. The web site, established January 2000, offers program and scheduling information for our interactive video conferencing network. It also includes extensive information on video field trips and their correlation to the Michigan Curriculum Framework, including two searchable databases.

Berrien County Connect
Berrien County Connect is designed to connect education and community; technology and interdisciplinary subjects; and Michigan content standards with classroom practice. It provides a place for students to publish writing about their county; a place for teachers to learn about resources in the county; and a place for students to collect, analyze, and publish data about the county. This site was established in 1998 to meet the needs of teachers in Berrien County.

Classroom Resources
When I started working at the Berrien County Intermediate School District in 1997, I expanded Jim Bembenek's work on this site to its current look and organization. Kevin Clark currently maintains the site and began in the summer of 1999.
