"The mediocre teacher tells, the good teacher explains, the superior teacher demonstrates, the great teacher inspires" 

William Arthur Ward


 

Using technology helps me to be a "great teacher".  I love technology and I love mathematics!  This portfolio is the best of both worlds.  I have had a exciting time incorporating technology into my classroom, lessons, professional development, and assessments.  As the students utilize different types of technology in their lessons, they are more focused, interested, and yes, inspired!  They enjoy the mathematics and they learn.   I thought that if I used graphing calculators in my classes that I was technology savvy, but this project has opened up a whole new world for my students and I, and the more I  implement technology  and see the students responses, the more excited I get about applying technology in my classes.
