The use of technology in teaching will assist me in reaching each individual student. As a volunteer, I have been able to work with individuals and small groups to promote learning concepts in both Math and Reading. Teachers are able to stay on track with the entire class, while I devote special attention to some. Similarly, computers can help provide individualized instruction, especially with tasks requiring repetition and immediate feedback.
Growing class sizes and the diversity among students are challenges that all teachers face. Even volunteers and teaching assistants are not enough to always complete the task adequately. Technology alone lacks a personal touch, but it does provide an aid to learning and helps students to stay on the same page.

Good point about class size. Sometimes using computers for some students frees up "teacher time" for kids that need extra help.
