Millington Municipal Schools acknowledges that to work, learn, and function successfully in a technological society, teachers and students must be empowered with the skills to use technology effectively. The District further understands that technology includes more than computers. Technology involves interactive devices, digital and video cameras, student response systems, handheld computers, cell phones, and other tools still in development. The District believes that ongoing and sustained staff development is imperative to equip teachers and administrators with the skills needed to challenge technology savvy students and to prepare them for success in a global economy.
