My students are typical middle school students. They are social butterflies who gravitate toward and are immediately more engaged when I can incorporate technology into our math lessons. Our school is large and has grown over the last couple of years. In addition, we are one of the older campuses in our district. As a result, many of our resources are aging and have to be shared among several teachers. We do our best to make the most of this, but sometimes the logistics of it all gets difficult.
