My English students struggle with comprehension skills, and keeping them engaged in daily lessons is difficult. By using online tutoring and test prep programs, the students are more engaged and have the ability to take charge of their own personal learning. I also teach a high population of students with special needs, and these students perform well when technology is used in the classroom. Students in 9th and 12th grade will be able to utilize test prep options in many subjects, but as an English teacher, I hope to emphasize classic literature such as Shakespeare and Macbeth. Students are eager to learn and using technology in the classroom will complement and take student learning to new levels which is why need Albert's Big Classroom Software!
