Needs:
Needs:
Always in need of technology and ideas to incorporate active engagement and hands-on that relates to real-life experiences
My Philosophy:
Working in a rural school in southwest Iowa many students do not have access to technology at home, this is something I would like to make possible at school. I would like to give students the opportunity to use technology to answer questions, solve problems, and document work. I believe that every student has a right to access and become confident with technology.
