Welcome to Teaching 'n Technology!  I've been helping teachers for the past 12 years to integrate technology.  I'll be sharing some of my favorite resources, lesson plans, and activities that will make the process of a little easier.  The best piece of advice I have for anyone who is just getting started it to keep it simple.  Find a place where using technology would make life a little easier and start there.  Once you're comfortable, try something new. Most of all, don't be afraid to let your students teach you.  They have embraced technology and can be great teachers and motivators.

Very nice lens! I just added you to lensroll since you are giving resources to computer teachers, just like me. Come see my lens for some more ideas for computer class if you like.

Thanks!

Great Lens! As a math teacher I especially like the NCTM Illuminations website. I just wish I had enough computers to use it effectively.

How would you use Squidoo in the classroom?
