Goal: To provide you with technology ideas you can take back to your classroom and use, some on Monday morning!

Evaluate your comfort level for technology...are you the cowardly lion, the take it or leave it guy, or the gung ho innovator?
How about your students? Are they tech savvy?
Take a look at your classroom setup...what do you have? You can make do with a few things and up your technology ante!
Hit up yard sales and estate sales. EBay is another great way to score some stuff!
