systems and water system are all performed from
technology. Therefore technology
should stick around as long as possible.

Technology is very influential and used by billions daily. Schools use technology to promote engaging activities, independent learning, and real world connections.
How does it look in a classroom??
Are the students really learning?
–Of course!! They are not just
learning; they are
discovering,
investigating,
writing, reading,
and applying!
Are the teachers still teaching?
• Of course!! Teachers are still teaching fundamental values that technology may not give. Teachers are also facilitators, guides, and mentors!
Allow your child access to the computer, cell phone, or other
devices!!
Learn with your child! Allow him/her to teach you some things they have learned through using technology!
Become more involved!! Visit your child’s school and even learn new
things with that child!!
How can I get involved?
Apps that are very useful!!
This is the future. Are you going to be
inactive or are you to engage in the
technology available? The choice is yours!
