Mr. Coley's classroom website has several interesting uses of technology. I particularly enjoy The Daily Blog, ColeyCast, StudyCast, iPod Flash Cards, Classroom Taxes, and his generous "How To" explanations.

This is an interesting article, as it offers a counter-argument to technology integration in all facets of the school experience, as least in the early years. The author makes a good point about young children being over-exposed to computer generated stimuli at such an early age, and he postulates the problems that ensue because of it. He refers to the "erosion" of childhood for marketing/money making purposes that benefit technology companies. He doesn't think software should replace good, interactive teaching.

From the website: Vanishing Georgia comprises nearly 18,000 photographs. Ranging from daguerreotypes to Kodachrome prints, the images span over 100 years of Georgia history. The broad subject matter of these photographs, shot by both amateurs and professionals, includes, but is not limited to, family and business life, street scenes and architecture, agriculture, school and civic activities, important individuals and events in Georgia history, and landscapes. The wide variety of the collected visual images results from efforts by archivists from the Georgia Division of Archives and History who sought, between 1975 and 1996, to preserve Georgia's endangered historical photographs. Designed primarily for preservation, the project located, selected, and copied historically significant photographs held by individuals who wanted to share their pieces of the past with future generations.The Georgia Archives joins with the Digital Library of Georgia to present the Vanishing Georgia images as a digital resource. Support for the project is provided by a Library Services and Technology Act grant administered through Georgia HomePLACE.
