My mission as the 6th grade technology teacher is to create an interactive classroom experience that focuses on the futuristic element of technology and the creative boundaries of the digital world. With the classroom theme, "Create Your Future", the central objective of my class is to discover how far creative innovation has taken us in the technological world and where we can go as individuals if we tap into our own creative genius with the help of technology.
When you visit my classroom you will notice a futuristic theme throughout. This is the case because I believe that my students are not only creating their own future, but the future of everyone around them and because of that, I'm dedicated to bringing out their best potential in the digital creative realm! |
