MSET is a non-profit membership organization that is dedicated to providing leadership for advancing meaningful uses of technology in the educational communities of Maryland. MSET traces its beginnings to a series of informal meetings held by supervisory staff from several Maryland school districts in 1984. These technology coordinators met to share information and discuss technology programs. By 1986, MICCA became an official organization and officers were elected and a constitution was adopted. Over time, MICCA's Executive Board grew to include committees that focused on an annual conference, workshops, awards, contests, grants, and higher education. As a result, MSET's membership has grown from 40 to 2,500 which now include technology coordinators, educators, library/media specialists, and institutions of higher education. In 1986, MICCA implemented the first annual MICCA Conference, which has become a must-attend event for our members and sponsors. The annual conference now provides over 200 concurrent sessions, national keynote speakers and poster sessions. In 2000, MICCA became an affiliate of ISTE, the International Society for Technology in Education, to be able to contribute to and benefit from the international network associated with the leading organization for educational technology professionals.
