A Little About Me
● I work at Neptune Middle School● I have been a teacher there for 5 years.● I teacher ESL to (currently) 30 students in grades 6-8th grade.● Due to our Bilingual Waiver, I see my students twice a day for English
Language Arts and Enrichment. (Although my first and this year I did Social Studies and Language Arts.)
● We do have a one-to-one initiative at the middle school where every student has a Chromebook to use in school and at home.
Objectives● Today we will identify different technology tools to use to engage all students
in their class.○ So that we can use technology effectively in our classrooms.○ We know we will have learned this when we have new ideas on how to
use technology in the classroom.● Teachers will discuss ways they incorporate technology into their lessons.
○ So that we can share our experiences with other educators.○ We know we will have achieved this when we have new ideas on how to
use technology in the classroom.
