Technology has had huge impact on my instruction. In mathematics discussion and justification are key to helping students internalize new concepts. Having a document camera has made sharing student strategies seamless. On-line technology has improved student, teacher, parent contact as well as given students a chance to share their mathematical thinking with others outside the 45 minute period I have with them. I have two main frustrations with technology in the classroom. The first is the time it takes to get comfortable with new technology; there are not enough hours in the day to learn how to do everything I want to do. The other is accessibility of technology. We have several computer labs (and laptop carts), but finding time when we can get into the labs is frustrating.

Here is a great video about wikis, common craft has a bunch that describe technology in ways that are easy to understand. Check them out! http://www.commoncraft.com/ media type="youtube" key="-dnL00TdmLY" height="344" width="425"
