How Does Educational Technology Play a Role in Your Classroom?
Technology allows me to enhance my teaching through engaging students and make learning fun. Students watch educational videos, expand learning through online textbooks, track their individual progress, and offered online assistance if needed.
How Do You Find Technology in the Classroom Helpful?
Students are provided feedback immediately giving them opportunities to rewatch or redo an assignment.
What Is Your Favorite Piece of Classroom Technology? Why?
Edpuzzle and Desmos are equally great to me. They offer students the chance to work at their own pace with interactive pieces.
What Is On Your Technology Wish List For Your Classroom? Why?
Ohh, I do need a new Apple Pencil for my ipad. Mine has been a damaged tip and doesn’t write most of the time. I also need an extra pen for my interactive whiteboard.
What Do You Love Most About Teaching?
What I love most about teaching is that I have the chance to impact a student’s life. Providing structure and holding high expectations for them can really show them that they are capable of learning daily.
