Every technology I use in my classroom is new to my students. Although a few of them may have computers at home, not many of them have internet. For them to do projects with PowerPoint and even Microsoft Words is an exciting process. It is a lot like when I find a new technology and have an idea of how to apply it to the classroom. I received a grant for a site licensce of Kidspiration and it just got installed on my computers and in the Media Center. I actually got excited about doing my lesson plans because I could find new ways to infuse this new technology. I know it is not new as in just out, but it is new to my plans and my students, which makes very worthwhile.
