I guess it all depends on<br />
<br />
1. What you want to teach<br />
2. On your personal style & philosophy of teaching<br />
3. On the age of the kids/adults<br />
<br />
The means for education are really secondary I believe :)

We all work with what we have and should be versatile enough to adapt to whatever the conditions might be. I began my career in Nigeria teaching at a boy's boarding school. Textbooks, paper, chalk and a Gestetner. I was a master at pounding out handouts on a manual typewriter and etching maps onto the flimsy masters. Back in North America I continued on with a Gestetner and spirit master. I added multi-coloured handouts to my repertoire and ruined my slacks with black ink and purple stains.…
We all work with what we have and should be versatile enough to adapt to whatever the conditions might be. I began my career in Nigeria teaching at a boy's boarding school. Textbooks, paper, chalk and a Gestetner. I was a master at pounding out handouts on a manual typewriter and etching maps onto the flimsy masters. Back in North America I continued on with a Gestetner and spirit master. I added multi-coloured handouts to my repertoire and ruined my slacks with black ink and purple stains. Eventually the photocopier entered the picture. Naturally there were film projectors, tape recorders and eventually TVs and VCRs. In the mid eighties I used an Apple II+, upgraded to an Apple //e and began producing report cards and grade books using AppleWorks 3. Finally in the nineties I went over to the dark side and purchased a 486. It has only been in the last five years that I have truly felt the exponential rate of change.<br />
<br />
At the moment I am teaching a split grade four and five class in a small city in Saskatchewan. Just within my own classroom I have:<br />
<br />
Promethean ActivBoard (primary board supplemented with a white board)<br />
Teacher's desktop (planning, student records SIRS, attendance, ActivBoard, Outlook for communication and scheduling, etc) and a networked photocopier available that makes PDFs.<br />
Five student computers to be shared with my twenty-two students (also five that float and a lab down the hall)<br />
Digital camera for me and four additional cameras I booked indefinitely.<br />
I added Skype to my computer so of course there is also a webcam<br />
There is a sound system in the room tied into the computer, projector and a DVD/VCR.<br />
<br />
It would be nice to have 1-1 computing. You use what you have. You will have a good deal in the future. Start pushing forward with strong strokes, the waves are getting bigger and you will be riding them.

I think that some of the best technologies are free. So websites like Glogster, Animoto, Worldle, and so forth, and goldmines. That said, I would find it hard to live without my LCD projector. Using that with my laptop and a bluetooth mouse lets me do pretty much most things that an Interactive Whiteboard would do.<br />
<br />
Recently, I did some beginner guides for Animoto and Glogster if you are interested...<br />

Samantha,<br />
Here is my list of "Must Haves":<br />
1. Computer - monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc.<br />
2. Scanner, printer, copier (all-in-one)<br />
3. Digital camera<br />
4. Document camera<br />
5. Video projector<br />
6. DVD player<br />
<br />
There are a lot of other items that I could at to my wish list. However, that would keep me up for another hour or so!!
