The purpose of this wiki is for educators to talk about what they are doing at their schools to integrate technology into the classroom. We all are responsible for doing our part to fulfill the requirements of the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology. I will refer to my campus' STaR Chart as a guide for initial discussions. You may view the chart at my blog [].

What professional development classes or training (technology related) have you had that have been worthwhile? - Region 20 presents a great workshop on podcasting and iPod Touch in the classroom that is very student-focused and can be held on-site using the actual technology tools present in your classroom.
