Teacher Comments• My students really like using the new technologies. They are more
enthusiastic and complete more assignments because they like to use the technology. I was amazed how many papers I received because I allowed the students to use google docs.
• Students were very happy to have permission to use their cell phones in class. The survey monkey definitely helps with finding out information easily.
• Students and parents loved the beginning-of-school surveys. The flip camera has been instrumental in giving students feedback on their oral presentations.
Would attend a similar Teach Tec program
Would attend an advanced Teach Tec program

Educators eager to learn technology Enhanced the classroom experience
Reported positive impact on student learning Increase in student participation
Conclusion Barriers to implementation in some schools/districts
YouTube and Cellphone use
Hands on training course can be delivered over distance More testing using Webinar
