I must say that I am very much looking forward to Sunday. After growing up in Chicago and after living and teaching in Indianapolis for 11 years, this year's Super Bowl matchup is my dream Super Bowl.
As I was scanning some RSS posts, these fun football-related gadgets caught my eye. Just thought some of you might enjoy seeing some of these as well.

I read a lot of different educational blogs and so many of these posts promote sites such as these in education.

2. Finding time to teach them how to USE the available technology.
3. Having all equipment in working order, having updated equipment, and having enough equipment for the entire class - in other words - money :o)
