Teacher view points on technology within the classroom

I have taken a great interest in integrating technology within my classroom to increase the level of learning for my students.  I am taking the steps to become more aware and familiar with the different uses of technolgy.  Will Richardson (2009) stated that, "[t]he common thread, I believe, is that we make these connections in our own practice first so we can thoroughly understand the pedagogical implications for the classroom" (p. 8).  One thing that I struggle with is managing my schedule in a way that allows sufficient time to explore and incorporate technology.  My goal for this school year is to set aside time each week that is dedicated to my education in technology.
