Competency 1

I have chosen a blog composed by a Techie from Conroe, Texas. I went to the ESC 6 Technology Conference and she was BY FAR the most interesting speaker of the whole affair! Her name is Amy Mayer and her blog is: http://urenglishteacher.blogspot.com/
I chose this blog because it is all about FREE (or thereabouts) Web 2.0 apps and other neat technology apps you can incorporate into the curriculum either as a teacher and/or librarian! I am posting part of her blog about how you can create your own document camera for $100.00!

$100 Document Camera

We call ours eyeCamD; you can call yours BETTER and CHEAPER! Stop paying $400, $500 or more for document cameras right now. Using a few supplies from your local hardware store, you can use a high quality webcam as a document camera with TONS more functionality.
