Day 5 afternoon

Who supports and who benefits from your participation in this project?
I have terrific support at school from the technology person, Danita, and the administrative staff. They all encourage us to learn and utilize as much technology as possible. I feel I benefit as well as my students. The more technology used in the classroom the more interesting it is for the students to learn and the more interesting it is to teach. It allows me to bring in more information from other sources such as United Streaming, and give more details about a specific topic.
What other technology do you wish you could use or have support for?
Our technology at WLMS is amazing. I have a smart board in my classroom, DVD/VCR, we are creating Wikispaces and we have Gaggle, an in county ability to email and have it protected within the county. There are laptops to utilize with students. There is also a program that enables hand held remotes to answer by numbers so it is secure and theoretically no one knows who is answering and if they get it right or wrong. This is great for reviews.
Time to get back to work for the afternoon. More later.
