There are many ways to incorporate tech into the classroom. You can start by creating a classroom page where students/parents can get notes, homework, etc. I have one at http://mrsrichardssite.wikispaces.com/ I just deleted some old classes, but…

I teach middle school history. My entire class is centered around my website but I honestly do most of the back-end work. The kids write the blog and provide the work for The Fridge but I do the rest. Check it out at MrRoughton.com if you're…

With your interest in Technology ideas, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.
