Does your school have an e-learning management system already in place like Blackboard or Moodle? If not, you should use Studeous (<a href="http://www.studeous.com">www.studeous.com</a>). Studeous will let you easily manage your class with all the best web 2.0 tools like videos, podcasting, text messaging, blogging, discussion, chat, calender, etc. Using Studeous would also be a great way to familiarize your students about these tools, creating a great learning environment and teaching…

It's free and hosted so you'll be set up in a matter of minutes. Let me know how it works out for you.<br />

Be sure to talk to the IT dept (if you aren't it!!) In my large district donated computers have to be new and under warranty to be hooked to the server. There are tons of grants you can apply for, I've gotten the Best Buy grant which starts at $2500.00 and can go to $25,000.00.

I will not be in school to look until tomorrow but we have Office 2003, Movie Maker, Image Blender, Illustrator (I think), Photoshop Elements, Audacity, Cam Studio, and I am sure I am missing a few others. I can also download and install anything free online.<br />
<br />
I was thinking more and more about this and I will for sure being going with a business plan type curriculum for my students. I will probably not do it for my 8th and 9th grader students but I will for my 10th-12th grade students.…

I was thinking more and more about this and I will for sure being going with a business plan type curriculum for my students. I will probably not do it for my 8th and 9th grader students but I will for my 10th-12th grade students. Computers 8 and 9 will focus more on computer fundamentals and collaboration with fellow students across curriculum.<br />
<br />
Do you students sometimes use real local businesses? Maybe we could get some businesses to donate computer equipment if the students produce quality products.<br />
<br />
Also do you have your students work in pairs, small groups, or individually for this?<br />

What kind of software do you have, I will try and get my list to you .<br />
Audacity is free for making podcasts/ commercials: <a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">http://audacity.sourceforge.net/</a><br />
If you have Office, then a lot can be done there, I have my students write Choose Your Own Adventure stories for 3rd graders (we have a school across the street) and the other reason for writing them at 3rd grade level is it is easier to work with, but they still understand the concept. We use…

We use PPoint to create the stories, with hyperlinks for the choices.<br />

I agree. In my school the 8th grade science and history teachers have all the same students that I do. So my goal is for the students to apply their skills in multiple subjects every chance we can get.
