Technology
With continuing technological advancements, it is imperative that our youth become tech-savvy. I utilize a variety of technological resources throughout my curriculum to facilitate my students' achievement of their learning objectives. Technology not only makes our lives easier, but also allows students to access the world around them, facilitate their own learning, be creative, and develop vital skills needed to become gainfully employed later in life.

Bat Unit
The bat unit is an inquiry-based learning activity with iPad's® and Quick Response (QR) codes linked to bat information. Students worked in small groups to fill in a graphic organizer regarding key information they learned about bats. Each group rotated through six different stations, scanned the QR code, and documented any information they found important. After completing each of the stations, the class collaborated in a whole-group discussion regarding key bat information.

3-D Shape Hunt
Students were asked to work in groups to develop a 3-D shape book. Students utilized iPad® technology to photograph examples of 3-D shapes in their environment and create a classroom book. Once their books were published, they gave a group presentation on the 3-D shapes in their book.
