//**JAMES T. RICHARDSON **// //**Just A Little "Bit" About Me**// Hello everyone. I am so excited to participate in the S.T.E.P. program this year. I am the Principal at Buck Lodge Middle School located in Adelphi, Md. This is my 12th year with Prince George's County Public Schools. In, those few years, I have witnessed first hand the amazing transformation of technology in education. My first year in the county, I was asked to be the technology coordinator of Samuel Chase Elementary. I was responsible for negotiating, purchasing and installing the "new" G4 series Apple Computers along with educational software from Pearson's Technology. I went on to serve as technology coordinator in 4 different elementary schools, as well as the Coordinator of three Summer Software Evaluation Teams. In each school that I have worked, it has always been my goal to integrate technology into whatever I was teaching and to provide staff development on technology integration for teachers.
 * Welcome to My S.T.E.P. e-Portfolio**

//**Three Goals For S.T.E.P.**// As I previously mentioned I am often amazed at how far technology has come. Therefore, my goals for S.T.E.P. are as follows:
 * To enhance my knowledge/understanding of the most cutting edge technology available to educators
 * To learn more about Web 2.0 Technologies
 * To gain a better understanding of how to integrate technology effectively with small groups
