Comments
Impractical implementation of technology with regular access to one student computer
Lack of access to technology hinders planning for future implementation of technology based activities during instruction time
Two-thirds of the teachers are interested in planning future activities that summarizationintegrate technology standards; impractical at this time
A request was submitted to the outcomeschool technology coordinator that a portable laptop classroom be purchased for teachers to sign out for regular classroom use in lieu of one new computer being purchased for each classroom for the project 2008-2009 school year.

Graphing applications utilized with a 40% frequency
