Very good point Jen, but Ko is right. Technology in schools is sorely lacking. Right now the only 2 computers in my classroom are mine and my room mate's. And they are ancient by computer years. I have the same computer with no updates that I've had since 1998. We have a Mac lab, but it's in use with typing classes all day except the first 2 periods of the day. Language Arts teachers have banks of about 8 ancient computers in their rooms and we are one of the lucky schools in our system. I know when I taught 6th grade science we did put a cd in with a "virtual" dissection of a worm albeit it WAS a real worm, but had been filmed. And THAT was just about too much for the poor little Macs that we had! lol
