  1. “Seven Brilliant Things Teachers Do With Technology” By Doug Johnson Presentation by Rebecca Cassell

  2. “They do not see technology as a crutch, but as a propellant.” 1. Empower kids with technology.

  3. “I can't believe the technology found in some of our teachers' classrooms. And it was neither provided by our department nor stolen (I don't think).” 2. Creatively find and use resources.

  4. “Most parents want to be involved, but they like knowing how.” 3. Make conferencing real-time.

  5. 4. Put kids in touch with the world. “The classrooms of brilliant teachers have no walls.”

  8. Technology is not ‘just one more thing;’ it's a vital experience that brings discovery, excitement, and even fun to the classroom.” 7. Delight in the discovery, the newness, and the fun technology holds. 7. Delight in the discovery, the newness, and the fun technology holds.
