Here’s an example of my paragraph: If I had a minute to spend grabbing anything I wanted out of my favorite store I would choose a place I could get the most tech equipment possible! I would probably choose the Apple store because not only do they have great equipment like the iPad, but they also have awesome software and tons of apps for almost anything I can think of. Some of the things I would grab in my minute are as many iPads as possible, a few new laptops, some of the new iTouches, and handfuls of app cards. I would choose the iPads because I know that we could use them in hundreds of different ways in the classroom. The laptops would allow us to publish and use all of the great software to show off what we learn each day in the classroom. The iTouches would give us even more listening centers to use around the room, and the app cards would make it possible for me to buy all of the great educational apps for the iPads. My plan for grabbing all of it within a minute is to map out the store so I know where everything is, then start at one end and grab as fast as possible as I go. I can’t imagine how much fun a shopping trip like that would be!
