 This is our WIKI! =Diving into Technology for the Elementary Classroom= The goal of this class is to encourage and motivate teachers to incorporate technology into their daily lessons. Technology is no longer a separate tool to be taught independent of other subjects. It is a key component of how children learn. The 21st century classroom must address the changing learning styles of children and utilize technology resources to better engage children in the learning process. Thank you for coming to this class!
