I believe that the biggest constraint to utilizing technology would be the cost to initiate these technologies throughout the district.  But if we can afford it, then the sky is the limit in terms of preparing our students to be able to compete in a technologically advanced global society.  I believe the biggest skill that we need to teach students is to how to research or gather information properly in order to promote efficiency.  THey need to be problem solvers and we need to teach them how to solve problems in a methodical fashion.  I will need to get acclimated to being a facilitator rather than a lecturer in my classroom.  The teaching and learning will come from not just from the teacher but from the students as well.  They will be able to teach and learn from each other.  The creative aspect of technology has no ceiling also.  The students can be very creative with their work that will lead to innovation with new projects and other tasks.  There are numerous ways that I use technology now but I will have many more with this class.  We can use these technologies to have the students check notes from home.  I will utilize podcasts in class as well.  Wikis will be prominent as well as other applications that I will learn.
