Leveraging technology?  I think the question actually becomes; are you keeping up with the times?  Just like teaching is an ever changing craft that requires the professionals to change/adjust their approach constantly to be successful, technology is lumped in the same way.  In order to keep up and reach as many students as possible, teachers need to keep up and use the technology the students are using.  This is the biggest challenge for me.  It is not whether or not I can use or understand the technology but rather can I keep up with the changes in technology to learn them quick enough or afford them in my personal life to incorporate them.  By the time we develop or start to use the technology in the classroom and get comfortable using it, something changes and our approach changes.  This causes to find a new technology or technique.

We will always have to find ways to bring technology into places that are strapped for funding, I think we are all used to that, but it is going to change every year or two, so can we change that rapidly to reach them?  I guess we have to, don’t we?
