๐ Tech Teacher for the Day: Gabe Austin! ๐
Today we had the absolute best guest take over the Technology ClassroomโGabe Austin, who earned this experience by purchasing Tech Teacher for the Day at our Fall Festival Auction! And let us tell youโฆ he did not disappoint! ๐ปโจ
Gabe jumped right in by preparing computers for our classes and making sure everything was ready for students to learn. He passed out Clever badges like a pro, helped fix tech problems around the room, and kept everything running smoothly!
But he didnโt stop thereโฆ
๐ฌ He created his very own stop-motion video, and then turned around and taught another group of students how to make one tooโwhat a leader!
๐ To top it all off, he added his creative touch by decorating the Technology Classroom Christmas Tree. It looks amazing!
We are so proud of Gabe and the hard work, leadership, and creativity he showed today. ๐
Way to go, Tech Teacher Austin! ๐๐ปโจ
