“The
Star W grant has given me a great opportunity to learn a massive
amount of information regarding technology. I am learning
so much from this grant and my children are benefiting a great deal.
In the few months where I have been incorporating the use
of technology I have seen the improvement of my students writing
and reading. I am very grateful for this experience.” |
