My favorite personal/professional use of technology
I appreciated having a soundfield system in my classrooms for use during individual speech-language therapy and large group activities. These systems boost the speech signal over noise which helps children perceive fine grained sound differences (including low amplitude sounds like s, f, and th). Children attend longer when the listening task is easier. Better auditory skills increases language development.

The most frustrating aspect of using "technology"
Being expected to use a program without understanding basic vocabulary attached to it or an understanding of its overall use.

__Vision Statement__ (10-9-09) To see children using available class technology to support their speech-language and literacy development. To have updated working computer available to children To have classroom website for children and parents for photo journaling and communication To get snapfish account for parents to get classroom pictures
