- To tell you a little about myself, I just finished my sixth year teaching fifth grade in a title 1 school in South Harlem. I use iPads one to one with my students and I blog about my experiences, lesson ideas, favorite free apps at classtechtips.com . If you are not on twitter I highly recommend it - it's a fantastic way to connect with educators across the world, read about what they are doing in their classroom and share some of your favorite things. If you have any questions after today please feel free to email me I'm very accessible and you're more than welcome to reach out.
