Darlington School Technology Inservice: Classroom Web Pages

Note for WEB Browsers!  My Inservice used these web pages as starting points for each of the 4 sessions.  All the outlines were printed and given to the teachers to make notes on as we went through the information.  Without the oral presentations to go with the outlines, many of the points/links do not seem to pertain or may seem vague.  I apologize.  I include this inservice in the tutorials so that those teachers who have taken the inservice can return here and refresh their memories and/or revisit the links at their leisure.
