Teaching materials are important aspects of effective teaching. They provide teachers with tools and resources to support their students in learning. While every teacher has the freedom and power to choose the best tools for their classroom, it is important to consider a variety of approaches to facilitate the teaching and learning process. 

In my practice teaching, I combined traditional and 21st century approaches to best support my students. This is a great approach as it allows for a diverse range of teaching styles and learning activities. While technology can be a useful tool, it is important to not solely rely on it. Differentiated activities are important to address the differences in learning styles among students. By incorporating a variety of teaching approaches, you can effectively engage and support all of your students in their learning journey.
