Technology Inventory

I am currently doing my first cohort experience at Mapleton Elementary, where I am working in a first grade classroom.  Through doing the technology inventory, I was able to see what all is available to teachers in that school.  I was surprised at just how much the school really does provide to help teachers incorporate technology into their lessons and their classrooms.  Although the classrooms at Mapleton (or at least the one I am in) do not really have computers available to the students, there are two large computer labs in the school that are available for teachers to schedule whenever they are available.  Also, the children have a computer class incorporated into their weekly schedule.  

I was very pleased at how much technology was available at this school.  I know that Mapleton Elementary is one of the more wealthy schools in the area, and I can tell by all the technology in the school that a good amount of this money has been put toward improving technology at the school and making technological equipment readily available.
