Even thogh I currently teach Pre-k, I believe technology is a great tool to enhance children's learning. In the end I would like to be a technology coordinator.
I definitely have encountered this problem. I love a program called ThinkQuest NYC (http://tqnyc.org) Here students form teams and create educational websites on topics agreed upon by their teachers. Additionally, they can create digital movies on topics that show their vision of how to make the world a better place.
The program offers tutorials, and a help desk. Yet, many teachers are hesitant about using it because of the added "work" involved! I push it as much as I can, but many teachers are resistant to bringing advances technology to their classrooms.

I created this blog for the teachers in my Saturday course. I instruct them on the use of SMART Boards, Podcasting, Web Safety, Web Literacy and PowerPoint.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

I left a message for you. We do the same job! I work for the Office of Instructional Technology for the New York City Department of Education. I instruct teachers on how to use technology in the classroom. I would love to share information. I am in Dr. McPherson's graduate course.
Hope to hear from you!

I am a student of Dr. McPherson's. I was wondering what it was like being a teacher/educator in Beijing. I'm sure it must have been pretty interesting there this summer! I look forward to hearing from you soon.
I hope to know more about taping their performances so they can see themselves. Knowing about the technology which I can use for this purpose is my interest. I am grateful for any suggestions. Nancy
I have never been there and I hear it is very special.
Also, there is mention of its' beauty a song by John Denver as he feels the breezes of Shanghai.
I'm thinking about a conference in Singapore in August. Maybe you could come.
