Tech woes

Well as the school year is winding down, I am realizing how much I miss my Smartboard. I have been using a new teaching technique that includes writing on more and more butcher paper and not using as much technology, but I feel that it is lacking. Since being at my new school, I do not have a Smartboard. For some reason the district does not pay for all of the schools to get one. So upon the discovery of not having one and figuring out how I can get one, I signed up for a technology training this summer. However, since I have been accepted into the program (a week long study in Leavenworth, WA), I got a RIF notice. Now because I have a RIF notice, technically I do not have a job for next year as of right now, so that means I will not be able to go to the technology training. This is sad news for me because I am excited about learning different things I can do with technology. This is not only closely related to my career, but it is related to my Master's as well. I would not only be learning how to work with a Smartboard, but there were other tech lessons as well. Does anyone have any ideas how I can focus on imporving my technology teaching techniques, even though I may not have a classroom in the fall?
