Mrs. Blair We're getting ready to purchase the two-for-one flip cameras for our room to use in Reader's Theater and with science garden projects! Nov 23, 2010
My class is a tapestry of learners, with diverse backgrounds and ability levels. The majority of my students are low-income, so most of them have less experience with acitivities that would really enrich their learning.
Position:
Teacher
Needs:
My class desperately needs some technology. Not only are teachers required to help students become 21st century learners, but it breeds excitement to learn. Anyone who's been in a classroom recently knows that one of the biggest hurdles you'll face is motivating your students to want to learn. Technology will get my class energized to absorb the curriculum.
My Philosophy:
My philosophy is that every student can achieve, if you engage them in what they're learning.
