When I was growing up the teachers that had the most impact on me were a few of my science teachers. Making class hands-on and learning topics that were relevant to me has helped me realize how important that kind of learning is. The United States needs to strengthen students science background and if students are not interested or motivated it will not happen. I firmly believe that they become more interested when they are participating in their learning more. Using newwer technology is a way to keep them vested in their learning.
