I teach grades 5-7 computer technology. I also teach a school publications course to 8th grade students whose main goal is to create and sell the middle school yearbook. I love teaching this class because the students are so creative and really take a passion in creating their book.
Position:
Middle School Computer Technology
Needs:
Our school could really use a digital camera lab. That would allow me to easily teach the photography unit in my school publications course. Other teachers would benefit from this lab for the tons of great technology lessons our district is implementing into their classrooms!
