At Eisenhower, we feel technology enhances our curriculum. It is not something that is separate, used as a reward when the 'real' work is finished. Rather, technology is viewed as another tool we use to teach our students. It enhances our teaching by providing exciting material to use to reinforce what we are teaching. It improves student learning by providing different avenues for students to explore. It is another tool which helps us address different learning styles in classrooms.
