9. Technology I Want to Use in My
Classroom
 I want my students to
engage in learning and
discussions through a
social networking
website, such as Ning,
as part of their math
classroom experience.

10. The Classroom of the Future
 I want to see self-
directed learning to
the extreme! Who
needs teachers
anyway?

11. A Challenge for Teaching
 Access to the knowledge
of technology and to
physical technological
products is sometimes
difficult to come by for
teachers. Students need
all their teachers to
effectively implement
educational technology.

12. Words of Wisdom
Only those who risk going too far can possibly
find out how far one can go.
