I teach 7th grade Science in a very diverse rural community. My classroom mantra is "Always make new mistakes." Therefore the students in my classroom are always encouraged to experiment with trial and error in order to harness their creativity. When conducting a lab, collecting and analyzing data is vital to the scientific method and technology is essential. Many of the students do not have access to the Internet at home, so using technology at school is their only exposure to this valuable resource.
