Aritcle Reflection

Fabulous ideas shared within the article, and I want to do it all, but I'm concerned about the amount of time I have to do it.  I know it sounds like a cop-out, but truly, how do you fit all of this into the classroom.  I would love to incorporate blogging, but with only 5 computers and other technology requirements to be met within my district, the question that continues to float through my mind is "How?".

Clearly technology is very important in this day and age.  Anyone that isn't using some form of technology in their classroom on a daily basis is doing a disservice to their students.  However, when you are only given a limited amount of supplies and time, how do you make the most of it all. 

Additionally, I still have many students that do not have access to the Internet from their home.  This is disheartening to say the least.  While many of the examples you give prompt students to go online at home to complete projects, I only have the time during the school day to truly reach them. 

In essence, I would love to be a part of all of the forms of technology introduced within the article, but it seems a bit daunting and I'm not sure where to start.  Additionally, I would love more information on how to find grants/funds to purchase more Ipads/laptops so that my students can participate in these activities on a regular basis.  Anyone have any ideas?

On a brighter note, I signed up for Kidublog and plan to have my students start using it this week!
