A vivid technology learning experience

Teaching 7th grade students Astronomy using the Sky function on Google Earth

Watching the Berlin Wall fall down through a live broadcast

A technology I want to use in my classroom

iPad cart loaded with Human Body System AppsPictured here is Skeletal System Pro II - (NOVA Series)

My vision of the classroom of the future

Access to education for ALL ages and socioeconomic status. Although One Laptop per Child Campaign (http://one.laptop.org/) is

doing an incredible job…. What about students in the United States and first world country

living in the inner city or near poverty level?

A challenge for teaching

To monitor appropriate use of technology while fostering creativity and cooperation
