Brief Overview of Teaching Situation

My name is Brandi Argentar and I teach Biology to 9th and 10th graders. I teach both Regular and Honors classes. The demographics of my students are mainly upper-middle class students and come from strong parental support families. I would say 80-90% of my students have a home computer and printer, and if they do not my school has over 100 computers for the students to use both before, during, and after school. I utilize technology everyday of my life which includes my courses. I try to incorporate several different technology strategies including but not limited to: PowerPoint, Internet Activities, Student Response Systems, Word Processing, Email, Web Sites, etc. My new passion is the Student Response Systems (SRS) and you can read more about that on my Current Use of Technology post.
