Once everything is all set up, on average, they spend only 20 to 30 minutes a day of preparation time to integrate all this technology into their daily lessons. The time they have saved from having to shuffle and organize paper has greatly streamlined their time manage- ment, effectively giving them more time to teach students.

for elementary music teachers. Judy is an elementary music teacher for the Schaumburg Elementary School District. She stated that her own access to technol- ogy resources is extremely limited in her district. She has only two PC computers in her classroom. In spite of the lack of resources given her by her school district, she has managed to take what she has and use it to its full potential. One of the most powerful lessons about technology in the classroom that we should all remember is that it doesn&#x2019;t need to be new. It just has to work. Judy&#x2019;s use of technology is a living testament to that lesson.
