Kris's Kreation Everywhere we look we see computers being utilized in education, from the very basic functions to the more challenging ones. Students are no longer using them for just simple word processing documents, but rather for elaborate multime dia projects and in depth research. Teachers have moved from simply generating t ests and worksheets, to creating HyperStudio lessons that are being presented via an AV link. It's amazing how much power technology has given educators as well as students.
My name is Kristina Branch and I am currently teaching in Mesquite ISD at Kimbrough Middle School. I teach regular 7th grade mathemat ics as well as a gifted and talented math class. By the Summer of 1997, I should be completing my masters at Texas A & M University-Commerce in Educational Techn ology and hope to continue my studies and begin working on my Doctorate within th e same field.
