My four best organizational tips are:
1) Use Vernier books for the core of your effort.
2) Rely on the "Teacher Information" section found at the
end of each experiment in the Vernier books.
3) Test experiments before using them with your students.
4) Enlist the help of students who have expertise with the
technology you are implementing.

Look to technology companies. I have an HP grant in the
works.
Also our utilities have money to spend. Sometimes the state
science associations have small funds available for special
projects. There's always the Vernier Technolgy Grant!

I do so many, polariation of light is really good as well as
all
of our motion studies in Physics. I juat really began to
use the microphone a lot this year. In fact, after almost 20
years, I recently got a classroom set of them. Kids love
sound labs.

Prepare students well in advance for using the equipment.
Students should be familiar with the calculator before they
perform their first lab. There are many activities
available to familiarize the student with the calculator.
