“I began my technology research in Spring 2014 as part of a University of Georgia Lilly Teaching Fellowship grant for instructional improvement projects . After purchasing an iPad, microphone, and other equipment, I started to experiment with different apps in lessons and sought feedback from my students . Through my research, I noticed an immense change in connection with my students, increased attention within the lesson, and improved practicing habits.”
