This semester has been a roller coaster ride through the web and unending lists of new technologies. I have been fortunate to work in a brand new school that inherited tons of new tech goodies.

As I worked with this technology my mind began to wonder and think about the possibilities.

If money wasn't an issue...what toys, what technology, what software, what peripherals should a school have to make it the bestest ever for staff and students? I know I am not the only one who has thoughts on this so I thought I would put this question out to the world.

Please feel free to add to the list below and remember....only let your imagination limit your suggestions.


 * = **Technology** ||= **Technology's Benefit** ||
 * = Wireless chargers for laptops ||= No more tangled messes that drive staff crazy and tech guys insane. ||
 * = Limitless server storage capacity ||= Encourage staff to go all out with videos, images, etc. with no backup worries. ||
 * = Laptop or Netbook for every kid ||= No more juggling computer schedules (netbooks are less expensive, but only use the internet). ||
 * = Interactive Whiteboards in every classroom ||= Provides a visual when demonstrating web 2.0 technologies. ||
 * = Ipods/other Mp3 players, digital cameras, webcams available for every student ||= Enables easier sharing within video/multimedia technologies ||
 * = flip video cameras ||= they are inexpensive and can be loaned out to students who can then create their own videos to demonstrate new learning ||
 * = teachers who embrace the technology (maybe not quite what you are looking for....) ||= kids who learn about and have opportunities to play with new technologies wil developing 21st century skills ||
