First Post

Welcome to my blog. I am planning on discussing ideas surrounding education in the 21st century. I am a middle years teacher with experience in special education, high school, and administration. I am looking forward to the discussions that will hopefully stem from starting this blog.

Part of the reason I am starting this blog is that I want to record and discuss the use of technology in my classroom. I have been given the opportunity to pilot a project which involves the use of iPads in the classroom. I also have access to a class set of laptops, five classroom workstations, and a Smartboard in the classroom. Some of my students have iPods and I know that we could also use those pieces of technology in the classroom as well.
