BOSTON — As part of a learning showcase called Education Evolution, students from across Massachusetts shared their work with modern technology with their legislators last week.

In the State House’s Hall of Flags, students from Dexter Park Innovation School in Orange presented their work in coding. Student-teacher teams demonstrated the innovative learning practices happening in classrooms, garnering citations from local legislators — in Orange’s case, state Sen. Jo Comerford, D-Northampton, provided some Dexter Park students with a certificate of recognition.

Massachusetts Computer Using Educators, known as MassCUE, hosted the event. The organization is the Massachusetts’ affiliate of the International Society for Technology in Education.
