Transcript
In my classroom, I also have a Computer Center. I think it's very important because my students can access some websites that I want them to work on. My students also have a twice-a-week session at the computer lab so they get to have their own computer and work on these websites too. Also do all kinds of things such as typing. Whatever writing piece that we did, for them to also have it printed from a computer with some pictures in it. My students are also lucky because they get a period of technology, which is when they use other tools such as iPads. So, it's different opportunities to have access to technology.
