Technology Integration
Technology in 5 Huestis
Technology plays a big part in today's society and student's are exposed to various forms of technology daily both at school and home. In our classroom we incorporate technology into our daily work and students learn how to use various forms to represent their learning and ideas.
One of my goals as a teacher has always been to find ways to reach all of my students in new, meaningful, and engaging activities. Incorporating technology into my teaching has allowed me to address the diverse learning needs of my students and therefore has been a way to help all students feel successful in their classroom experiences.
We use technology in all areas of the curriculum and students are learning to express themselves using new and exciting ways.
