Goal

The goal of my blog is to share ways of integrating technology into the classroom. As Stewart Brand suggested in the quote above, in order to stay current in the classroom one must implement technology. As new technology is introduced, an effective teacher must stay current with the trends in order to best meet the needs of the students.

My school has a surplus of technology that can be integrated into the curriculum. We have interactive whiteboards in each classroom, a movable laptop cart and iPod cart, three different response systems, digital cameras, flip cameras, document cameras, and videoconferencing equipment. This sounds like a lot of technology readily available, however one must know and understand how to use this equipment in the classroom. My purpose of this blog is to share methods and strategies for implementation of these tools into the classroom. Together, we can prevent dust from every settling on these wonderful tools we have at our fingertips.
