Is the purchase of more technology equipment or software required?
No. Lesson plans make use of free technology such as the internet and freeware (software that is free to all users). All that is needed are computers with internet access. In addition, many lessons ask students to work in groups when using technology skills so having a limited number of computers would not greatly affect the quality of the lessons. To assist teachers, a technology toolbox has been provided for technical/instructional support. The technology toolbox contains media players, directions, and downloadable materials to assist you in using technology in the classroom.
