I see first-hand how engaged students are in the learning process when using the software available to us. I am able to support the classroom teachers by basing my lessons on material the students are currently covering in their classrooms. I also instruct the students and parents how to use the software from home for tutoring and enrichment purposes. I highly recommend teachers learn about the computer programs made available to them and incorporate them in their everyday lessons and learning centers. The computer is a valuable tool for differentiating instruction in the classroom. I am a former classroom teacher, now working full time in the K-2 computer lab.
