= Welcome to the K8 Technology Wiki for Teachers = Check out various tech teachers' resources pages here!

With so many schools without a technology textbook, curriculum, or other support, this is intended to be a stop-gap resource and perhaps it will grow to be more.
Marty and Amanda are Tech Apps teachers in Houston. Amanda has a wealth of experience with elementary as well as online learning. Marty's experience has run the gamut from PK to Adult learning. Together we are starting this wiki but hope our HISD colleagues will join us as well as other teachers anywhere to make this a go-to resource for teacher technology as well as technology integration.

Web 2.0 Spotlight[[image:spotlight.gif align="left"]]
We will highlight a Web 2.0 resource here on the front page. You will see a running list of all our Web 2.0 resources on our Web 2.0 Hall of Fame. If you you have one you would like to see highlighted, Simply join the wiki and add it yourself! Be sure to also add your resource to the Web 2.0 Hall of Fame page as well. Below is an example of a Wordle created by using a Just So story by Rudyard Kipling. It includes the top 30 words in //The Cat Who Walked by Himself//.
