Integrating+Tech+-+Elementary

===Welcome! Today I hope to give you some ideas as to how to cleverly integrate technology, even with only one computer per classroom...the teacher's! Hopefully this will continue to change in the years to come, but until then, there is still much you can do to engage your students, differentiate instruction and improve learning outcomes, as well as bolster your own professional development and workplace efficiency.===
