My Ideal "Technology-Rich" Classroom
Through this course, I have discovered that technology plays a more important role in the classroom than I thought.  I think the reason I never got involved with technology is because I was never taught how to use it in school.  Now, I feel it is a necessity in each classroom, and I will teach my students the importance of technology.  They will probably teach me too!  Click above to see my idea of the perfect "tech-rich" classroom.

Visit to a "Technology-Rich" Classroom
Many classrooms today are moving to a more advanced level of technology use in their classrooms.  It is unfortunate, however, that not all schools are financially able to make these improvements.  Here, I have written about a visit to a classroom that encourages technology use amongst the students.

Educational Technology Online Journals
These journal entries, also available off my Main Menu, discuss related technology topics, and how they can be incorporated into the classroom.  Also discussed in these, are different problems affecting society.  I have taken a position on the topics, and related them to society.

Critique of a "Teaching" Website
Have you ever wondered where to go for a little help in planning lessons for your class?  Well, wonder no more!  This critique is one of a website-Lessonplans.com, which allows many opportunities to find lessons that will fit in your curriculum!  What a great place to find such resources!
