The web site we were sent to ( E-School news http://www.eschoolnews.com/resources/reports/Multimedia_Instructional/index.cfm) was great. I love the how to articles about everything. I signed up for their newsletter, so I can get up to date information all the time. I also agree with them about the uses of technology. Many school districts that have the funds for technology aren’t taking advantage of this resource. To figure out how best to use new resources is a daunting task, when curriculums and other things are changing constantly. It could easily become just one more requirement for a busy teacher. That would be a shame though, because it is so much fun, and could relly energize the students.

The specific resouorce I picked was Show Me How Now (Website: http://webct.njcu.edu/SCRIPT/3752EDTC642/scripts/student/serve_mail).
I like having actual lessons on how to set up the technology, because until I know how things work, it troubles my mind and I can’t move beyond that.

I looked at about half the articles listed on this resource. I am definitely becoming fascinated by podcasting, because I have not used it previously. Both my husband and my son have an ipod, so I, too, would like to make use of it. Now I really want to find a relevant podcast and download it using itunes and see how to play it. That would be a triumph
