Technology and my school

I have always depended on my children or other members of staff at my school to show me how to use different programmes on the computer.Imagine my surprise when I began speaking about 'blogs and wikis' only to realize that they did not have a clue about what I was referring to. For the first time I have had to explain about seemingly new technology 'blogs and wikis' to my children and my colleagues and to demonstrate how to set up and create both. I must state however that these applications in the first instance were very challenging for me but persistence paid of in the end.I am gaining some some ground and the anxiety which prevailed in the beginning is slowly disappearing and is being replaced by excitement.

I cannot wait to start using this technology in my classroom teaching. But alas there are no computers at my school and the possibility of acquiring any in the near future seems dim. Computer room but no computers.How can change really occur if schools are not provided with the necessary equipment? How can I as a Reading Specialist achieve success if the necessary tools are not provided?
