Final Reflection

Zachary Stringer May 3rd, 2017 Period 1 English 12 Final Reflection  For this project I picked Technology in the classroom. The reason I picked this idea was to improve the classroom stress.

In this proposal I want to address the teachers and the administration about the benefits that cellphones and other technology can have in the classroom. The reason that I am addressing this particular subject is because I feel that cellphones, personal computers, tablets, and many other forms of technology in the classroom can be a substantial benefit.
