//"The Classroom Teachers"//

The purpose of this wiki: is to discuss, plan, and gather information regarding technology and its implementation in school. Based on the Texas STaR Chart Summary, our campus is primarily classified in the developing Tech Area, even in the educator preparation and development area. However, the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology states that teachers are expected to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed and thrive in the 21st century, including the need to effortlessly use technology to acquire information, solve problems, and communicate.

This wiki will facilitate communication and collaboration between colleagues, which will lead to the improved use and integration of technology in both classrooms and school.

 * **Questions & Comments**

Technology is an important asset that can be used to better educate students and promote active participation. In order to meet the needs of today's students, technology skills are critical. Teachers and educators need to attend quality trainings that will prepare them to implement technology in class and at meetings.

There are several challenges to implementing technology in school including: resources, funding, and time. The school I work for is overloaded with computers that are outdated or no longer working. I see the difficulty teachers have in wanting to use computers and not having enough for all their students to use. Before we can successfully use and implement technology, I think our students need access to it. []
