Juan - Seeing the lack of resources available to you is discouraging! Perhaps you could use Voicethread to help spread the word and advocate for the resources that are necessary to help your students. Do you or your students have a specific "wish list" that would help them with their education? Do you have a specific project or learning opportunity that you would like available to your students? There are so many opportunities for grants, and perhaps you could use the voices of your students in order to have their needs heard. I think you've got a good start with the images you have included in your voicethread. Now just work with your students to make a plan of what specifically they need & how it would help them. Then spread the word of your needs. You may be pleasantly surprised to find that people will be willing to help. Good luck my friend!
Juan, The fact that so many of the technology licenses are not being renewed is sad. This will certainly limit your ability to create authentic learning, but hopefully using free programs like the ones we've been introduced to in class may help. I was thinking along the same lines as Cindy in putting a needs list together,then posting it in some public way like the school paper or maybe on the school website. Thank you for taking us on a visual and audio tour of what you must deal with on a daily basis. -Angela
