New uses for technology in the classroom

While I have just began my journey to find new technologies to incorporate into my elementary math class, I can honestly say that I think I have already found many tools that would be useful to me.  Something that I have already been reading about that I truly feel will make a difference is the use of blogs.  I never really thought about blogs as being a way to share links with people.  I think that I could use a blog to share links to other webpages or videos that could help students with concepts we are learning in our class.  This could possibly be helpful if a student is having trouble on a homework assignment.  It would be like a teacher on-demand.  If I could not find a video over the subject matter that I want I could possible even make a podcast to share with the students.  This would also be beneficial on snow days or when a student is absent. The only problem with incorporating technology in the classroom in this way would be the fact that many students, especially in my poverty-stricken area, might not have access to any internet connection, much less a high speed connection.  My study of technology in the classroom is still in it's infancy, but I can already tell that it will be something that will help me in my everyday classroom.
