My Project

I am a huge proponent of exposing students to technology in the classroom. I use technology in my classroom daily. My students use Google Classroom and organize my lessons on my bitmoji classroom. My students use Nearpod, Edpuzzle, Desmos and more.

Although technology and digital resources are invaluable, I feel that it is necessary to close the Chromebook and return to the basics.

This project is asking for pencils and dry erase boards to do math the old fashion way. I am not stepping away from technology, but it is important to step back once in awhile and put pencil to paper and ink to white board. As always, THANK YOU for your support!
