Every one of my students brings something new and exciting to the room everyday. I am blessed to have such an energetic group of learners and I wouldn't trade them anything.
Position:
Language Arts Teacher
Needs:
Technology is the way of the future. My students are moving into a world where texting on a Blackberry is a way of life. Writing letters long hand will become a lost art form and emails and tweets will become the new style of communication. Because of this, students need to be prepared. It is not only my job to educate them academically, but it is also my job to prepare them for the life that lies ahead. Technology is that life. Students need to be exposed to it now so that when they are ready to go off to college or the working world, they are qualified, and experienced with the tasks that they will meet.
