W1_Topic #1 Difficulties with Technology? Have a solution?

Topic #1
It is hard to think of when the last time I had a problem with technology usage in the classroom. Fortunately, my district is up to date with software/Internet perimeters. However, one technology problem that I am frustrated with is the lack of 1:1 computing. I daily teach six classes, grades ranging from Kindergarten through sixth grade with numbers varying from 16 to 45. So, computer usage for students can be difficult, especially when I am to share 24 computers with my next door neighbor. My neighbor and I utilize these computers on a daily basis, but must have our students complete group work. Sometimes I feel group work is beneficial, but at times I notice at least one student is left in the dark about how to properly use these technological tools. I wish that I could have more hardware to use with my students.
