One thing I have waited on is the equipment. I have an i-Pod and I downloaded some recording software. Now I just have to stop thinking about it and do it! I would like to try and record some classes and then have them available for students to listen to when they are absent. Or, if a teacher has a special speaker coming, it would be great to be able to create a podcast to be able to access the talk. I also want to Podcast my Breakfast over Books of students talking about the current book we are reading. We are reading Romiette and Julio by Sharon Draper right now and the numbers of students has suddently exploded! I'm ready to podcast anytime! I cannot wait to create a Podcast.

If you go ask any classroom teacher what would help them increase their level of technology integration, the answer would always be "More computers." Granted, there are some pretty fantastic educators doing snazzy things with just 1 or 2 computers in their classroom, but more computers means more interactive learning for the kids. I think that ultimately this opportunity would change the way we teach. Having said that, I wouldn't hand over one machine without explicit and thorough training. Kids love computers! They cherish whatever time you give them with a PC. But, they would still need to be taught proper care and maintenance techniques, and explained the consequences for abuse and damage.

Granted, the computers in my classroom are desktops, but it truly is great. I teach a Finance class which is not compter based, but since the students have access to the computers we use them, usually every day. They look up stock quotes, research financial markets and concepts, and can easily type their thoughts when given individual or group assignments. I can save files on the class network that students can easily open and work on right there on the computer. This means that I don't have to make lots of copies of handouts, assignments or tests.
