The Trip 3 - Take Stock

Taking Stock of Your Hardware and Software - allows you to consider how you can infuse technology with existing hardware and software and plan for possible future purchases.

It's easy to say you'd do more with technology if you had more or better equipment; but the reality is, a lot can be done with a little and a little can be done with a lot! This section will allow the teacher to explore issues related to hardware and software and to consider existing hardware and software in order to make better use of it in the instructional environment.

The topic areas of Step 3 include:

Introduction Placement of Computers in a School Number of Computers Hi-Tech/Lo-Tech Platform Placement of Computers in a Classroom Scheduling Time on Computers Networks Technology other than Computers Software Must-Haves.
