Technology ideas for teachers

It's no surprise that technology has crept into the lives of nearly everyone in Western civilization and beyond. And, increasingly, children are often outsmarting their parents when it comes to computer programs and cell phones. Wacona Elementary school in Georgia has its own Web site -- not very common for San Diego schools -- and has a specific page that focuses on what technology-related activities teachers can teach to their elementary schools.

These ideas include a "Smart Board," a kind of host where students can share their PowerPoint creations with each other, Web Quests, inquiry-oriented lessons on the Web, top-10 lists for teachers, how to teach students to take digital photos, make Web pages and more.
