Responce

I must agree with all the great points made in this article. However, one question I would have is where is the technology in the classroom? I have two computers with Windows 95 installed on them, and I know that I am not the only one who faces that situation. I am one of the people that would volunteer my time to help those who claim ignorance, however, I have no decent technology to work with. As an educator, is it really possible to keep up with today's technology, based on the funding available to our schools? Some of us are fortunate enough to have extra cash in our pocket and can afford to keep up with our kids at home, but how do we bring that to the classroom? I don't even have a computer that can be left turned on for more than an hour without crashing, or one that allows me to install Flash, let alone allowing the students to use programs such as PowerPoint and Photoshop to create projects... Where do you go from here - willing to learn and teach but not able due to lack of technology for student use...
