I teach 140 wonderful 8th graders at a high poverty school in Chicago. These young men and women are motivated to learn and succeed. Sometimes trying to keep every students attention can be a struggle. One important lesson I have learned in my 12 year teaching career is to make sure to keep up with the times!! Right now technology is everywhere and is changing the world of education and our future. We are trying to prepare our students for life after grammar school---and we believe that technology is the key.
