Hardin Intermediate School
Hometown:
Bean Station, Tennessee
Class Information:
Room Number: 116
Students per Class: 100
Class Description:
I teach in a computer lab with about 100 students. We have twenty one computers and are working with the basics of how to use a computer and the vocabulary that goes along with technology.
Position:
Technology Teacher
Needs:
The classroom needs a smartboard which would greatly enhance the participation in the class. Also needed is a flip camara so the students will be able to work with filming and editing video. I would also like the students to work with new technology such as the IPad.
My Philosophy:
My philosophy is that teachers should always try to find new things for their students to use. The more the students work with newer technology the better chance the will have experience with it when they are in higher grade and the world after school.
