2. Why I chose this topic?
We are a BYLD school district.
Students are using technology more often.
Schools are pushing the implementation of
technology.
Students enjoy and actively use technology in
learning.
Can schools, students, and teachers support these
learning methods and styles.
3. Problem Statement
While teachers at Cherokee High School are
beginning to implement technology more frequently
in the classroom, many are not equipped to use the
technology effectively. Programs are offered within
Cherokee County to train teachers on using
technology in the classroom but, teachers have not
been able to or have not taken the opportunity to
receive this training.
