Innovation in the Virtual Classroom
 * Topic:** Incorporating Technology into the Virtual Classroom of Mathematics


 * Population:** I will develop a workshop for Virtual Classroom Teachers at the elementary grade levels


 * Outcomes**: I would like to help teachers to learn how to use technology in the virtual classroom to keep students interested and engaged in what they are being taught.


 * Gap:** I believe the teachers know how to teach the students mathematics. I also believe teachers get into a rut and do not want to take the time to change the way they teach due to the fact that they think what they are doing is working. I want the teachers to understand that children learn differently now then they did 5, 10, and 15 years ago. I want the teachers to know that change is good and that new programs are simple to incorporate into what they are currently teaching. Using technology to incorporate new ideas and new ways to teach the content for a class is important to capture the attention of the students and help the students to succeed in the subject being taught.
