This project has really made me excited for next year to not only use all the amazing tools and sites that I found, but to help teachers implement them into their curriculum. The data shows that teachers don't need a whole lot of professional development to implement these tools well, but time to play around and understand the tools before integration. I have found that how-to videos are especially helpful not only to teachers but students and parents as well. Next year I would like my students to be well versed in many of these tools so they can take them to use in other classrooms and projects outside of school. I hope I can continue curating my website so that anyone who wants to learn more and get up to date resources has a place to go.
Thank you's...
I would like to thank Napa Learns for not only financially but through many great professional developments as well. I hope to work more in the future with them to further my research on diversifying technology in the Napa Valley Unified School District.
I would also like to give my appreciation to Touro University and all the wonderful professors I had the pleasure of learning from and working with. These educators not only care about the pressing current issues of today but about us as individuals in the program with unique needs. Lastly, I would like to thank my parents and cohort for giving me the strength to do my best work on this journey and be proud of what I have accomplished.
