As the times continue to change, so do the teaching techniques used on a daily basis. “Whether we like it or not, kids are starting to use technology on their own. By using it in this structured environment where they are really learning how to use it, that just benefits them in the end,” said Jeanne Halderson, a teacher at Longfellow Middle School.
