Out with the Old

So what do you need to do with old technology?  First of all, look around to see if someone is less fortunate than you are.  Is your old technology better than someone else's current technology.  If it is, then give it to them.  A lot of old technology can be updated.  If it can be updated, then use it as part of a backup system or for use with students.  I would love to have a few old computers in my classroom just to allow students to type and surf the web on.  An old computer that we no longer find useful because it is too slow or does not have the newest version of some working system, can still bue used by students in the classroom.  Internet and a word do not take a lot space but can create an environment in the classroom that is useful.
