Class Description:
I teach 6th grade science in a rural community. I have many students who long for increased use of technology in science class.
Needs:
I would like to be able to bring more technology into our classroom and I have both taken many technology courses to prepare in the event that technology becomes available to my classroom. I have taken podcasting, smart technology, digital camera, moviemaker, and digital camcorder. I would love to now have the equipment that goes along with my knowledge!
My Philosophy:
All students should be actively engaged in hands-on, minds-on learning.
