Jackie Roliardi became interested in Technology in Education when she was working with remedial middle-grade students. She had been constantly searching for new ways to keep students interested and on task. When she saw that students working on a simple Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) program were deeply motivated to learn, she began to explore ways to use technology in her own classroom. She soon realized that technology provided her with new ways to engage and motivate her students. |
