The Day With No Technology
SUMMARY

THE TECH IN MY LIFE
My Laptop: All of my assignments and schedules for school are organized through my laptop. I use my laptop for notes, quizzes, calendars, e mails, assignments, and many more. I generally carry it with me everyday to class or to meetings I have through leadership positions in Greek life. Also, Netflix is one of my favorite ways to relax!

Tech Free as a Teacher
Although I encourage the use of all technology; I want my students to still have a well-rounded learning experience. I will still have hands-on activities, creative projects, group work, outdoor lessons, and much more. I want my students to understand technology and the benefits it can bring to their daily lives; however, the importance of not using it too. Students will learn what they are capable of by just using their hands and minds. The responsibility of technology should not to be ignored also. My students will learn online etiquette and what is deemed appropriate and not appropriate in the digital world.
Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important. - Bill Gates
