Practicing my Praxis

I've decided to focus my praxis paper on utilizing technology, and allowing students to express their knowledge through diverse outlets. It sounds neat and tidy when I put it in that short sentence, but the paper is overwhelming me. Right now I'm glad to have my student to focus around, but there is still so much that is making it into my paper.

Working to edit and define my ideas is an arduous process. I want to talk about different kinds of technology, the type of technology that would have helped Jaime the most, why technology needs to be brought into the classroom, how to make the use of technology meaningful, and I was thinking about including why I would use multimedia portfolios.

Any suggestions on what you want to hear? What will help me focus my teaching? I need your help, or else I fear my paper will be a lot of pieces with no true synthesis of my ideas.
