We often equate technology with computers for two reasons:  one, they are the most complex of the technologies that teachers use in the classroom, and, two, many other technologies interface with computers.  However, don't forget the value of "simple" technologies.  Digital cameras and camcorders can be used for a variety of purposes, from storytelling to marketing.  With PDA's, the idea of a computer for every child becomes much more of a realistic goal.
