I have really enjoyed teaching and I'm always looking for new ways to engage students.  I'm glad to be taking this course because teachnology is one way that I love to engage students.  We have a smartboard in our classroom which is one way I engage students.  When teaching mathematics I download lessons that pertain to what I'm teaching and the students can interactive with the lesson.  Another way I engage students is to use visual supports and incorporate that with partner interaction. My students love to work with partners and I allow it when I can.  The last way I like to engage students is to use movement. My kids need a lot of movement and kinesthetics to maintain their attention so we incorporate a lot of movement into our daily work.
