I 💖 when classroom instruction is embedded with appropriate instructional technology in order to create a deeper and more fulfilling learning environment. This can be accomplished in many different ways, but I believe that it is best done in a problem-based or project-based learning environment that is instilled with collaboration of both teachers and students.
Authentic consistent student engagement is the goal of every classroom I work with and have taught in. I measure my success as a teacher by how my students are engaged in learning and rejoice when they seek outside sources to expand their knowledge of a topic.
