What are your thoughts on the NETS Standards:In addition to the students' knowing the names and basic functions of technology, these standards require that the students manipulate the technology for different educational needs.

Questions to consider...How does a teacher incorporate these new standards across the curriculum with limited technology?

Things that we are already doing...Smart boards and Qomo pads are being used to teach individual standards. Power point presentations and online projects are types of assignments given to students to incorporate technology.

Things we would like to do...We would like to set up and use wikis and/or online forums, but the lack of technology makes that difficult.

Barriers that would prevent us from doing things...Strict funding for education does not allow us to acquire such technology that would make this possible.
