		<description>A new computer becomes "obsolete" in 18 WEEKS ... the question is, "Does the old one still do what I need it to do?" 

Answer depends on what you need it to do. Most of the time, the answer is "Duh."</description>

		<description>I agree, although technology is moving and changing quickly it is non-productive to just watch it go by.  We already know that a new computer becomes obsolete in 18 months.  Does this mean we never buy a new computer?  We are supposed to jump on board whenever possible and just do our best to keep up.  I believe that is what the rest of the world is doing anyway.</description>

		<description>I think that just having the students do a web quest or treasure hunt or something is a beginning for some if they have never done these types of things.  The following website offers some information:

http://academics.smcvt.edu/cbauer-ramazani/Links/webquests.htm.

This may seem like old news to some, but I have yet to see this utilized as often as it could and I think it could be more often.  Grant it some web quests are better than others, but my point is that educators don’t have to create them just yet if they are new to them, but they can use them, and then creating them, or having the students create them could come later.

Or even having a classroom bog perhaps.  Currently, I am just substitute teaching this year and I am going into Special Education next year with the hopes of someday specializing in Technology in special ed. and some regular ed.  However, I taught a resource class last year full-time and everything I thought about doing, I didn’t except for some Excel spreadsheets and used Study Island http://www.studyisland.com/.
I know now that I wish I had done something with my students once every two weeks or so.  I didn’t realize that had the power to do this and didn’t use it.  Next year I am going to utilize what I know….even if I have to tie it by a thread to the core content.</description>

		<description>So true.  Your investment has to start somewhere.  I know that my knowledge of technology could be better and I am striving to learn all that I can to make sure my investment is the best one.</description>
