Areas Identified for Development

Rationale/Sources of Evidence (why?)

Integrating a smart board into the classroom

Smart boards can be used to accommodate different styles of

learners. It can accommodate for not just visual and audio but
kinesthetic learners. Plus with the experience that was given to me at
a previous job, they are a wonderful addition to a classroom

Integrating iPads into the classroom

iPads can be used in the classroom not just for in class activities such
as researching information but also to complete assignments as well
as accessing textbooks

Integrating Twitter into the classroom

Twitter can be implemented so that the teacher can keep the

students informed and sent out reminders about class or different
assignments that have impending due dates
