contact. It also has video so you can see one another Plus it can be used on a smart phone as an app It is FREE!

I would really want to use Apple MacBooks in my classroom. I think that they allow students to be able to be creative

because Macs have great software. They are also easy to use and are very compatible.

A challenge for teachingA challenge for teaching I think the biggest challenge

will be convincing the older generations who are in charge (DOE) that technology is vital to helping our students.

I know some people who feel that spending money on technology is a waste and that we should focus on more basic things. I think the reason for this is that they do not understand the new technology and people are usually ignorant to things they do not understand.
