Mark Your Calendars: NEACT Summer Conference "Tools for Teaching Chemistry" Aug 9-12, 2010 Fitchburg State College, Fitchburg, MA. This year's summer conference is already shaping up to be a great opportunity for teachers with presenters on board to show how you can use software, the internet, demonstrations, etc to enhance your teaching. However, we are still in the early planning stages and NEED your help. For the past several years, NEACT has been run by a handful of people, many of whom are now retired and moved out of the area.
