In the 21st Century classroom, technology is a part of the everyday routine. Due to the fact that students will be expected to use technology in whatever career they choose, it is vitally important that as teachers we prepare them to be successful in the outside world.

The artifacts in this showcase demonstrate my passion and ability to use technology in a general education/Inclusive classroom.
