TOY Technology Training Session 

April 23, 2002, Washington, DC


Nancy Knowlton, Executive Director of the SMARTer Kids Foundation welcomes the National
Teacher of the Year Nominees to the 2002 Technology Training Session.

All of the National Nominees participated in a technology training session to learn about the products they receive from the Foundation as part of their Teaching Excellence Award. The training began with Bob Hana and Stacey Force of NEC Solutions America, Visual Systems Division presenting the NEC VT 45 projector. Jessica Williams and Jason Brindel of AlphaSmart, Inc. followed with an overview of the AlphaSmart 3000 portable keyboard.

Training continued with a feature demonstration of the SMART Board interactive whiteboard, courtesy of Carmen Shippy of SMART Technologies. After a lesson on the board's features and functions, the teachers were sent off into groups to do some hands-on activities.

Congratulations to all of the teachers – Class of 2002, TOY Tech-Training graduates!
