I'm also interested in assistive technology development. I worked for a facility for the intellectually/developmentally disabled for nearly 7 years before coming into higher ed.

Hello there,

I am a fourth grade teacher in Connecticut. I am one of the few lucky teachers to get an interactive wipeboard in my room and am also one of the few who helped design our new district website. I am extremely interested in using technology to take my lessons to the next level. I am currently looking into creating a tech club for grades 3-5 and have just written a grant for IPOD touch for my classroom.

If any one out there has any great ideas relating to technology at my level I would love to hear from you.
