Use of TechnologyThe seventh grade students will have access to calculators when necessary. A smartboard will be used each day in class for notes and interactive assignments. A Voki will be used to recite worksheets for those students having trouble reading them in the correct format or with better auditory than visual learning abilities. All worksheets given in class will also be posted on Facebook incase of a mishap. Twitter will be used for class assignments where multiple groups of students have similar, but slightly different assignments. Twitter and Facebook can also be used for questions or concerns while students are at home. A video will be used to introduce basic ideas of equations and the first assignment. A blog will be read at the end of the class to demonstrate the importance of the lesson.
