Welcome to the Spartan Technology Wiki! Within this wiki you can find information on the latest and greatest technology that educators should be using to connect to their 21st Century Learners! Reach students where they exist, in a technology submerged environment, and they will respond with interest and enthusiasm. Students today don't remember their family's first remote control television, or when their town finally got cable. They don't remember cassette tapes, or computers with black screens and green blinking cursors! They are digital natives, we (if you're over 30) are digital immigrants! They are not afraid of technology, messing it up, or breaking it, we are! Don't be afraid to let go of your role as teacher, become the learner and let your students teach you. This is a great way for kids to connect content and skills in the way they learn best, with technology.

 I want you to see how fun, exciting and easy using and integrating technology into your daily lessons can be! So if you're not shaking your head right now thinking "no way," then continue on, and welcome to the 21st century in education!

 To begin your adventures in educational technology you simply need to select an area of interest from the 'Navigation' bubble at the left side of the screen. In each area there will be brief descriptions, examples, samples and connections to websites and articles available on the web. If you would like to contribute, edit or comment, please feel free to do so-- after all that is what a wiki is for. It is a Web 2.0 tool!
