Liz Kolb converted, from being one of those teachers who “didn't see value of cell phones on campus” to devising ways to use cell phones as learning tools

  I think the key in using cell phones in the classroom is to teach the students that their phones can be used as educational tools to benefit the learning process.

"this is a different approach. It's not a random use of technology. It's really coherent and integrated."
- Cindy Hanks on 09 Sep 12
  
  The point here was that when technology use is not just "hit-and-miss," it has a greater affect on student progress. It must be fully integrated into the curriculum in the classroom.

  This is a shift from whole-class instruction to individual instruction, where each child's learning needs are met by teaching them with concepts as to where they are academically. I believe this provides an opportunity for success in every child.

  With the use of technology, some our our special needs students will have the opportunity to shine in areas that they have not been able to shine previously. I believe it is so important to give students opportunities to succeed as much as possible in order to not only meet their academic needs, but also to give them confidence and a feeling of accomplishment. We all need that.

  With my daughter being a recent UCF graduate in Elementary Education, she has given me insight on her internship experiences in Marion County Schools. In her opinion, she noticed that if and when technology and media resources were available, the teachers did, in fact, make use of them in the classroom. This is definitely encouraging to me.
