 * Other Questions**
 * Does anyone have a copy of a K-8 technology curriculum they'd be willing to share? What skills are taught, and when? (Elgin Academy)
 * What, if anything, are you doing to educate parents about new technologies and tools?
 * What blogs do you read regularly for inspiration? I stumbled upon a [|teacher's website, blog, and Wiki]...I don't find it inspirational, but it is a good example of a teacher who is effectively using blogs, wikis and podcasts with his students. I believe all of his students are required to maintain a blog.
 * What podcasts do you listen too for inspiration?
 * Does your school have minimum technology proficiencies for new hires (faculty and/or staff)? If so, what are they and how did you arrive at them? How does your school address teachers' needs for professional development in technology?
 * Has your school set up a replacement policy for LCD projectors? Have you adopted a goal of equipping every room with a projector, speakers, video hookup, etc?
 * Does your school use MP3 players in your foreign language curriculum? If so, how? Does your school allow students to bring their own to download files from your network?
 * Is anyone willing to share their 3-5 year technology plan. (Qwest)
 * E-Rate application process (Qwest)
 * Is the focus of your school website a marketing tool or is it academically oriented? Do you have more than one website to serve the two purposes?
