Introduction





I am a teacher of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, Grades 1 - 5, at Thomas Claggett Elementary School. I teach a self contained classroom of students whose mode of communication is sign language. I have two, very spoiled dogs name Sage(shepherd, husky, lab mix) and Ginger(Goldendoodle). They are affectionately called "The Spice Girls".



I hope to use the technology, tools and knowledge obtained in the STEP program in my classroom in order to:
 * Involve students in a new learning experience.
 * Teach students to use various technology equipment for learning and creative activities.
 * Show other teachers and visitors students work.


 * UPDATE: **

I currently use my wiki page during the class instructional groups. The students choose their homeroom teacher and are directed to practice a certain skill by clicking on their name. They are then linked to an interactive math game for practice. I find it most helpful when making sub plans. I don't have to make a list of websites for the sub, instead I give them one website and the students use their names to access the required websites. Students can also follow the same steps at home to practice the skills at home.
