I hope you are looking forward to our use of
technology in the classroom this year and
that this newsletter has given you an idea
of how I hope to incorporate the different
resources into our meaningful classroom
instruction. I am hopeful that the
technology will bring our class together,
working as a whole group and when the
technology is being used in small groups or
pairs. I also encourage you to use the Apps
with your scholars at home, if possible to
encourage this manipulative, conceptual,
and visual learning as much as possible. If
you have any questions, comments, or
suggestions, please contact me!
