My Project

As a teacher I am expected to be current when it comes to using technology in the classroom. In addition to teaching current novels and utilizing new instructional strategies in my classroom, I am asked to incorporate the latest technology into my daily lessons.

With the Surface Pro in this project, I will be able to download current educational applications that I can learn and utilize with my students that will enhance lessons being taught in the classroom.

Students will have multiple ways to enter the lesson and to learn the new materials being taught. In addition, the Surface Pro can be used in class with the students having access to it, so that they can try out new technology in addition to district issued student laptops which have learning limitations and capabilities.
