• Find out how many of your students have access to computers and the Internet at home. If the percentage of computers in the home is low, investigate community centers, public libraries, or even shopping centers to locate free computer and Internet access. Inform students and families about those resources.
• Learn what technology is available for students to use at school during free time.
• Get to know the librarians and media specialists at your school. Much of what students do on the computer revolves around research; your library staff probably has, or knows about, some great resources for you and your students.

Next: Set goals and work toward them.
