New Technology
Wow! Where to start huh! There is tons of stuff that is new and fun. So let's start with the stuff I would love to have at work! I just recently played around with a digital whiteboard! Wowzers! That was cool. So many things that you can do with that piece of technology. Also a document camera would sure save a lot of copying and making overheads. I know that this isn't new stuff, but it would be new stuff compared to what I have! And this stuff isn't even that NEW! There is so much new stuff that could benefit teachers that most teachers, like myself, don't even know about it. As far as other stuff, I have a Nintendo Wii. So much fun! I wouldn't mind a Lexus that could parallel park itself. (Wishful thinking). Iphones are crazy too! Again I know that this stuff isn't that new, because there are things that have already been developed or being developed that I probably couldn't even wrap my head around the concept.

Jeff,
I would love to have an interactive whiteboard too. I wouldn't mind having the Lexis also. I can only imagine life without having to make transparencies.
Yes, that is Tyler Hoffman in the picture.

Hi Jeff!
I have seen people use document cameras in their classrooms and they seem to be so easy to use! That is one of the things that I have on my wishlists.

jeff,
Document cameras kick butt. I checked out our portable one from the media center. I don't plan on ever returning it unless someone takes it from my cold dead hands. Our HM teacher's edition has stories with tiny pictures. What better way to motivate 21 six year olds than to have them crowd together and try to look at pictures that are about 2"x 3". Thew doc. camera allows zooming in of text and graphics. Just the other day we zoomed in a couple of pigs to see if they were sweating after a game of tennis. If you have the means to pick up a document camera, I highly recommend you get one.
