- Time - Since we are responsible for 3 TAKS tests (as I have mentioned before), realistically we are very limited on time with technology lessons, projects and lesson extensions.
- Large classes - I currently have 26 students in my class and with only 4 computers (and no access to the computer lab because of the Reading First Grant) we do a lot of "buddying-up" which is a positive learning experience for ELL's.
- I also have plenty of books on tape in various
genres and language.
Limitations with technology will continue to exist in any classroom so, it's up to the individual teacher to prepare for her students needs and ensure that technology is integrated in order to create life-long learners.

Lisa,
Thanks for sharing some of your frustrations with technology limitations in your classroom. How horrible the computer lab is now only being used for Reading First stuff! Ironic how a grant that is supposed to be improving education for students is preventing access to technology for other students.
You're lucky to have 4 computers in your own classroom!
