Use Your Summer to help You Plan you Technology Intergration

I know that summer is the time that teachers take a break from writing lesson plans and use thise tim to focus on their personal needs.

However this is also a great time to plan how you will use technology.  This the time to look up the pricing of new equipment,  learn to use a technology you already have better, or recreate a plan to get funding for additional technology.

Although it is summer,  you can create accounts at Adoptaclassroom or Donors Choose to create projects for next school. You can savevthese projects rather than publish them, so that you will recieve the materials when you need them. You may also need to edit the projects prior to publishing due to grade or class size.

Share any ideas you have for the summer Vacation!

Technology and Inventory

Inventory is a tedious task that is necessary for schools to complete on a yearly basis. Why? Because a count of what is in the building is needed to ensure that funds are sent appropriately. With the funding concerns of schools today, knowing what you have, what you need, and how to bridge the gap between the two.

Being a tech savy educator is difficult when you find negligence of any form. Your tolerance gets tested at many levels. Please!!! Stay strong in you efforts to make at your school or district. Technology is a new field in education and the diffusion of technology moves at various rates. Continue to be a catalyst in the feild: one classroom,  one co-worker, one grade level at a time, one school, or district.

Stay strong and fight the tech battle
