__**Problem:**__ Teachers at EDEC High Impact Program are not utilizing technology to its to reinforce student learning.

__**Question:**__ Will integrating 21st Century Skills and Tools improve student achievement?

__**Plan:**__ I worked with 2 teachers to help incorporate technology into two projects, one of which would have originally used power point while the other unit did not even exist.

__**Reflection:**__ I enjoyed sharing tools that I have learned through PI and other sources to expand the thinking in my peer's classrooms. I think that not only did it allow the students to show creativity and encouraged them to use new software, I think it helped them to better retain the information. (In regards to the Presidential Biography) By incorporating Alice into the junior high computer curriculum they were able to make stories come to life while learning simple computer programming. (SEE LESSON PLANS ATTACHED.)

__**Implications for Future Work:**__ I hope to continue to help my peers to incorporate technology into their classrooms with ease.
