Technology is replacing our textbooks, and we can research just about anything that we want to on the internet. Web-based applications will allow me to teach students at their current levels and based on their abilities and needs. The students of Dickinson have endured great hardship. We still see the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, delayed school sometimes means delayed reading and my daily lessons are now being taught in a smaller amount of time and use a lot of technology. While students are using the applications on the laptop, I will have time to work with individual students who may be struggling or zoom with students who are learning virtually. Integrating technology into my classroom will also help my students to stay more engaged in the classroom. The MacBook Pro and headphones will be the beginning of my class technology explorations. My students will be able to listen to books online, record their reading (and playback), and also research information for ongoing projects in class.
