Exploring New Technology

There are a couple pieces of technology that have really struck my interest since we have been exploring technologies to use over the last few weeks. The first thing that intrigues me are wikis. I understand the value of using wikis in class but in a school that has very limited computer access for students I wonder how I might incorporate one into my classes. I think having students discuss projects or answers over the internet throughout the course of the assignment is valuable. I just need to come up with some ways to use them in my class.

The other technology that has really caught my attention, particularly lately, is Google. I honestly did not understand that there were so many uses of the Google website other than searching. I had always used Google as a search engine or for maps and that's about it. I would like to incorporate some of the tools Google offers, such as documents, presentations, websites, etc. in some of my projects in the future.
