Standard E: Creating and Maintaining Effective Environments for Student Learning

TPE10. Instructional Time

TPE11. Social Environment

How can technology help you create and maintain an effective environment for student learning?

Behind the classroom scenes, I am downloading graphic organizers, and worksheets that will compliment and assist my students in the lesson.  In addition, I utilize technology such as the classroom computers to break up the classroom in teams, groups, and partners, then we have research projects, or stations, or have virtual field trips, this maintains the students involvement in the lesson and allow peer interaction.
