My department is a very tech-savvy department where we all sample different types of technologies in our classrooms to see what works best. We then share what we like with each other. I am somewhat of the tech guru when it comes to the Texas Instrument calculators in the school. I have been using one since I was a senior in high school so I have encountered almost every problem that exists and figured out how to troubleshoot them.
I have received the most tech help from my colleagues with the new TI-Navigator and TI-ranger devices. These have a ton of applications for our students but they do take some time to learn and master. I'm hoping to use both these on a regular basis and integrate them into all my courses in the coming years.
I also plan on using Moodle for all my classes next year and I plan selling my colleagues on how much better Moodle is than our current website-making software. In the math department we are constantly uploading study guides and answer sheets and Moodle makes this so much easier than what we currently use.
