Reflection on TIE lesson

I feel that using technology in the classroom is a fantastic idea.  I have only used google docs, which the students all enjoyed.  The problem I was faced with was the amount of time I was able to have in order to complete this assignment with the students.  There wasn't enough time in the lesson to complete the task.  I feel that when I have my own classroom, this would work ideally.  Since that is not the case for us PST's, this is difficult to incorporate.  I wasn't able to create a voicethread to my document which I had hoped to do.  Again, because of the shortness of time.  Third grade is the beginning of the TAKS testing process, which greatly reduces classroom time for anything other then learning the information for the TAKS.  I have found that disappointing yet understandable. So while this is great in theory, the ability to follow through on this has been  limited due to the time constraints.  If anyone out there has some suggestions on how I can find the time to incorporate both googledoc and voice thread, I would appreciate it.
