Since Greg Moul's blog is named All Children Get Ahead, I felt compelled to name my blog something comparable. I thought it appropriate to name it, All Teachers Bump Their Heads because we all do when it comes to technology. Some of us have more welts than others. Anyway, a little levity isn't a bad thing. I can always change the name later. At present I am the author of this blog. However, my intent is to change the settings to add all HPT reps as authors. This would be a HPT blog and not one specific to technology.
My first post here is to request feedback on the presentations that I gave at the high school and grade school. I would like everyone to make some honest response. My main goal is to start a conversation that everyone is in on. There are a lot of issues with technology and its use in schools. Things like access, support, troubleshooting, security, knowledge and time all deter people from the use of technology. I for one, will not be deterred.
Also for those people that have never made a comment to a blog you can have that experience and possibly see the potential for such dialogue as colleagues. We will offer a PIR on blogs and use in the classroom in the coming weeks. I will post some blogging rules soon. The main one is to be civil in your responses to anyone.

HPT TECH and MATH INTERVENTION
Given budget constraints and available manpower, it is incumbent upon us to use the resources at our disposal. One such resource is online content. The concept would be to develop an online guide that would be available for students to access independently or with a peer tutor or “Title” personnel, which would be more productive.
The “challenged” student would have their teacher and the text, as well as access to the online text, computer activities, digital tutorials and a tutor to guide them through and assist them in utilizing the available resources. This endeavor would necessitate a collaboration between the Vertical Math Team, Tech Team and the district community. The resources accessible online are substantial. The Vertical Math Team members would identify what areas of the curriculum need to be supported, Tech Team members would locate the online resources, then Vertical Team Members would evaluate their merit, having the most useful resources placed on a Website or Blog by the Tech Team for student use.
The following list of links is a preliminary survey of the types of resources available for ALGEBRAIC FOUNDATIONS / Pre-Algebra:
