-Ocassionally, I will take the students to a website to gather information about a topic. We are reading Hoot, so we typed in Florida's endangered animals to get a list of animals. They will be writing a research paper and the media specialist will be coming in to demonstrate more specific sites for students. -Story on CD -Homework site for students and parents to check grades and homework on-line -I am limited to what I can do with technology in my portable.

Things I could use with my students are the text to speech and Natural Reader sites for students with reading difficulties. The thumbsfacts.com site to create powerpoints so that my students can access from at home or the public library to study or get important information. I can also add to a created powerpoint from any computer with internet access. Zoho.com, the stapeless books--will definitely use!
