 * Role A: Tina Teck – ITS**

During the observation of Ms. Luddite, you note that she is an effective eighth grade ELA teacher but she does not use technology. Ms. Luddite’s classes are performing well on standardized exams, but they are not given the opportunity to use technology at all in her class. During your observation, students worked in groups and appeared engaged at all times. She has been welcoming to you and is eager to demonstrate her teaching effectiveness by having you observe her class.

Some additional considerations:
 * Ms. Luddite is an effective teacher but a novice at technology.
 * Ms. Luddite wants to improve her own technology skills before using it with her class.
 * Ms. Luddite recognizes that she should provide greater access to technology for her students in her class but doesn’t know how.
 * She has a home computer but does not use it.
 * //Help Ms. Luddite identify ways to integrate technology and identify resources that she can use to improve her own technology skills.//**
