Smyrna School District
Pending Issues from the Technology Planning Committeee, 1999-2000

E-mail

How will the district provide e-mail? In some cases this is already being done through an existing Linux server. Should the district consider supplying all students with e-mail accounts? What about as the district transitions to greater use of the IMS which will require students to have network logins? Will e-mail addresses be the natural way of doing business in that environment?

Keyboarding skills
Should this be part of the elementary curriculum? How should it be approached? What implications does this have for high school courses?
This generated much discussion and it would probably be good to make this a new item in terms of district, school and classroom responsibilities. Some teachers have websites on other sites. Should there be an official policy about linking those or not? How will it be enforced?
Student Volunteers
Should the district embark on using more students to help get things done?
