You have probably already been doing this mentally, so list the technology you have at your fingertips. Once it’s in black and white (or whatever color you choose!), it’s easier to consider.- What is in your room? What do you have that you have not used fully?
- Next, list what is available to you outside your room. What do you need to do to be able to access it?
- Did your school pay for the video streaming package? Have you browsed it and bookmarked clips to use with specific units?
- List units that you could easily add a technology component to—either on your part or your students.
As you think of things, keep your lists going so you can refer back to it after your brain is saturated. Read over everyone else’s list and borrow ideas! Remember, no matter what the grade level—everything can be adapted.I have a
- digital mic
- laptop computer
- digital SLR camera with flash drive

Purpose
This blog is designed to track my 2008 TechJourney. First, I intend to create a Goggle Apps Prototype using Peninsula Elementary School, a K-8 school of approximately thirty students. Goggle Apps will provide a free platform, using a shared domain, and will allow teachers and students to write and respond to one another's work.
In addition, I plan to initiate a project that incorporates digital sound and images as a way to record and publish student work.
