Thats a lot of information! Where do I start? Know the technology tools available in the building. Become familiar with the standards. Integrate the skills and knowledge you have gained about technology into your every day teaching.
Remember... The students are ready and willing to learn with technology. We can support and enhance their learning if we are willing to take the extra step and integrate technology into our curriculum.
