"From Techno-Phobic to Tech-Nation as her class refers to her. Mrs. Cunningham utilizes technology to provide a variety of ways to teach ELA/SS concepts to all of her students. Mrs. Cunningham allows the students be in charge of his/her learning through the technology. She believes tech isn't just for the gifted and talented but a necessity for all students to succeed. Mrs. Cunningham is a prime example of a teacher who was afraid of the technology to using tech in the most effective way possible for learning."
