Technology a Little Lacking
I just completed my Technology Inventory, and not only did I feel that Oakland really doesn't have much to offer me, but what they do have I am not familiar with. And even worse than that, what they do offer to me I am not familiar with. I wrote in my inventory that I have Smart Notebook and Inspiration, both great software programs, but neither do I know much about. I need to find some time and sit down and tinker with them, figure out their ins and outs, and how it runs, but I just don't know when that time is going to come. The fact is that I have to make it if I want it to happen. And with that amongst everything else, I don't know where it will fit. Too many things to think about all on top of one another. Until then, I will be thankful that I have email and try to start letting kids graph their own comprehension progress online with the website edcheckup.com that I was granted access to. This technology journey is definitely going to be interesting!

Hi Becky, I hear you! You really need time and some tech-support as well, to learn the little bit of technology you are being offered. Is there anyone on your campus who can help you get started? Maybe one of the other fellows? If you could find a friend to do it with,it would be twice as nice. Plus, you could problem solve it together. Maybe you could try meeting right after school one day next week. If you make a regular plan to work on learning the available tools little by little, you'll have it all mastered by Christmas!
By the way, I think your technology plan had some really good ideas. Technology can help make the supply and demand concept even more fun. Go for it! What have you got to lose? Please let Dr. Howland or me know if we can provide any support. I don't know if I'll have the answer, but I will definitely work with you to get it going in the right direction. ~Monica
