In addition, the students will learn how each sense is used in everyday life and why it is important. Students will use varied types of technology such as computers, projectors, social medias, and a Web 2.0 program.

0The teacher will modify the classroom so that the students’ chairs allow an easy view of the projection.

0The teacher will also modify the lighting so that the projection is easily visible.

0The teacher will be the main source of verbal information and will simply use these materials and media as tools to help

0The teacher will re-pin this assignment which will post it on Facebook for parents to view.
