Amy Paige

How has technology impacted you and your students?
Technology has helped my students become more engaged and excited about the skills they are learning. They are able to use what they have learned and apply it in a new way using technology. Students are also able to complete their work and stay in line with classwork if they are not in the classroom
What do you love most about technology in the classroom? What do you love most about teaching?
I love being able to find new ways to present information to my students and see how excited they are to complete their new task.
What is your favorite tech tool and/or device?
I have learned a lot about SeeSaw this year and used so much of it in my classroom. With remote leaning and absences, I am still able to find ways for my students to stay engaged at home and not miss out on lessons we are doing in the classroom. I have really enjoyed created new and fun lessons for the material that we are covering in the different subjects.
