  pages, PowerPoint presentations, lesson plans and
  other materials to assist classroom teachers.

Keep up the good work!

• Many of the objectives in the technology course
  of study are things that you have been doing in

• Remember to document what you are doing since as
  we all know, if it is not documented, it never
  happened!
