I am currently teaching a 2nd grade class and I am taking this course in hopes of finding other innovation ways to incorporate technology into my class. I have started a reading routine for my children to incorporate more structure, but i would like to utilize more visual presentations presented in various ways to stimulate my students. I am thinking of various slide presentations to text to speech applications.

Transitions..
I recently transferred from a Direct Instruction 5th grade classroom to a "Metgot" standard based school. The transition from a 'textbook' driven curriculum to one with more "freedom" has been a challenge. I am currently establishing a teaching routine for the year. I currently have access to a wide variety of 'tech' tools in school, from projectors to a full internet ready computer lab (which is currently unavailable, but operation at this time).

There's a lot of online material for your grade level that I don't care for, but some is very good. Build your network and you'll find the good ones. Check out BrainPop for Educators. If you have computers in your room consider having the students learn typing skills.
