 * Role B: Lorna Luddite – Teacher**

It’s the final week of a writing unit the students have been completing collaboratively. You have enjoyed great success with your workshop approach to writing and your students always do well on the NYS assessments. You have noticed that, during the past two years or so, your colleagues have been using computers and the new Smartboards that have appeared in the school. You are coming to the conclusion that you can improve your teaching by using technology.

Some additional considerations:
 * You are a novice at technology.
 * You are open to new methods.
 * You are not sure how to improve your own technology skills.
 * You are not comfortable having the students use technology when you don’t know how.
 * You have a home computer but do not use it.
 * //Be cooperative with Tina Teck as he attempts to help you develop ways to integrate technology and identify resources in the school to help you improve your own technology skills.//**
