In July 2000, SEIR*TEC held its second State Education Agency (SEA) Academy at Twin Pines Conference Center in Sterrett, AL.  Teams from the Southeast met to work together on an issue they selected as important to technology integration in their state. Using the Authentic Task Approach, the teams established the focus of their work at the Academy. The Academy ended with each team sharing their products which were aimed at resolving the problem they identified.
