They enjoy activities that allow them to practice skills in a fun and engaging way while also challenging themselves. I have especially noticed that some students who are quieter during whole-group instruction become much more confident and willing to participate when using technology.\r\n\r\nYour generosity has helped create more opportunities for my students to learn, explore, and grow. Most importantly, these resources have helped make our classroom a place where students are excited to learn and have access to tools that support their individual needs.
