Blakemore Middle School Campus Technology Wiki Page
What is this? This wiki space is part of my Edu Tech assignment. I need contributions from my colleagues in order to make a good grade and become more educated.

Why does it concern you? Without your input, I could fail this class and never get my Master's degree. You guys are, believe it or not, my only colleagues. Therefore, you are responsible for not only your students' success, but mine.

Would you do me a favor? I am opening a discussion concerning our campus. Based on STaR Chart data, which I thoroughly analyzed for this class, our campus' weakness involves lack of professional development regarding technology. Please post your answer to the following question on this page (below the question): Do you think we, as Blakemore Faculty, need to use technology in our classes more often?

I feel that we should use technology more in our classrooms. I would like to use it more often, however I am not sure how to integrate this into some of our lessons. I also feel unforseen issues that occassionally develop, prevent us from using technology as often as we might like. Issues such as these waste valuable class time and cause students and teachers frustration( Cannot connect to CalFarkey Domain, No internet avaliable, Kids "forgetting"passwords and not svaing files to the correct drive). I also feel it is VERY important for students to know how to research a topic and write a report by using books and pen & paper, not constantly relying on computers.
