It all looks good, but:

Instead of saying "to increase everyone's motivation", can we have it a bit broader. For example "Using technology in an effective way"

Basically, not just using tech for techs sake but to improve student's learning (including increasing their motivation).

For the second bullet point.... can we say "to effectively adapt to and overcome the limited technologies in Japanese classrooms"?

And 3rd bullet point.... "to elicit creative and interactive lesson ideas by demonstrating the application of technology in a classroom setting"?

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius.

A Transformers reference isn't too bad either. ;)

Haha... without limited, doesn't it sound like we're fighting robots now, though?

Or could we say "outdated technologies"? Just feels like it needs an adjective...

Ah yeah, I probably should have taken out overcome as well haha

I meant to make the goal more like:
"Effectively utilizing the technology in your classrooms"
rather than
"Every classroom is ancient and you need to struggle against it."

Some schools are crazy tech'd up. The more general goal covers both high tech schools and low-tech schools.
