The Department of Education and the Smithsonian Institution will convene experts in education and technology to share innovative practices and effective models for improving teaching and learning in rural schools. The presentations and discussions will focus on how rural schools can use technology to overcome the challenges of distance and isolation, while capitalizing on the positive opportunities in rural areas.

On Tuesday, July 20, the Smithsonian will offer behind-the-scenes tours of its most popular museums and host a reception at the National Museum of Natural History.
