Day One Reflection

As I registered for this class, I was concerned that it might be dry and boring but am finding it to be anything but that.  Thank you!  After taking the term assessment, I am clear that I have much to learn.

I really enjoyed watching Sir Ken Robinson on TED.  I will be searching through that site over the next few weeks.  I appreciate this as well as the other great sources of information to learn about technology and education.  I would like more information about the different funding sources you referenced in my small group - E rate and another $500,000 grant.

The big questions I have are:
1.   How do we keep technology and teachers current in our schools?
2.   How do we provide technology equity between schools in the same district?  What models are out there?  When considering low SES schools, should they have more technology at school since many do not have it at home?
