Teachers Versus Technology

I was eating my lunch at my placement last Tuesday. The teacher and I usually eat in the classroom and chat while the students are at their lunch recess. But on this particular day the principal asked all of the first grade teachers to come in my teacher's classroom for a meeting. I was allowed to sit and observe the meeting as the teacher's talked. The main goal of the meeting was about how to incorporate more technology in the classroom even with all of the budget cuts the school is having. None of the teachers had an idea of how to do this, so I spoke up and told the principal about some of the technologies we had used in class. He wrote them down and asked to speak with me next semester (I have the same field placement next semester). I don't know what will come of this meeting next semester, but I hope I will be helpful in helping to 'update' the school with technologies such as SpeakingFox and Googdocs next semester!!
