"Training Today's South Carolina Teachers to Use Technology" has been the focus for SC's replication activities. Middle and high school teachers, of whom many are teaching in small rural districts, have participated in the workshops. The modules used most have been Searching for Information on the Web and Creating a Professional Portfolio Using PowerPoint.  The emphasis for mathematics teachers was to integrate technology into quality mathematics instruction aligned to the SC Mathematics Curriculum Standards.  We will present some sample lessons that they created.
