TALAC is an acronym for Technologically Active Learning and Aligned Curriculum. Problem-solving and student knowledge construction are key components of the TALAC classrooms. In TALAC classrooms technology is utilized to research, create, and produce projects that focus on real-world problems, situations or driving questions.
There are currently 14 problem-based technology rich classrooms operating in Lapeer County. Each TALAC classroom is equipped with seven on-line Pentium-class computers, scanner, printer, digital camera, video-camcorder, snappy video capture device, a television monitor and VCR.
The TALAC project is sponsored by the Lapeer County Intermediate School District and Local School Districts with funding from a GOALS 2000 Professional Development Grant awarded by the Michigan Department of Education.
