District Wide Inservice -- June 8, 2000

The purpose of this day is to expose all of the district instructional personnel to the vision that has emerged in the work of the Smyrna Technology Committee and to help individuals set their own direction for making the vision a reality.

Technology will be used throughout the district to help every student meet or exceed the standards. These uses include instructional (both teacher-directed and student utilization), administrative (teacher-level to district-level), and support services applications of technology.
