Do you think teachers at North Schuylkill would like to have tech angels?

Erica- The tech angels project is a project that students teach the teachers how to use computers. I think the teachers at North Schuylkill should set up a meeting to discuss if they want to have tech angels or not, because some teachers don't know how to use the computers that well and some do, but if it was up to me I would say that they should get tech angels, so when they give an assignment to the students they can help them through it instead of having the students find out how to do all of the stuff without help.

Brett- Tech angles project is a project that students teach the teachers how to use computers. I think North Schuylkill does not need this project because most of our teachers know how to use the internet.

Olivia - It is when the students teach the teachers how to use computers. I don't think North Schuylkill should have this because most of the teachers already have knowledge in using computers.

Moriah - The tech angles is a web-based curriculum for teachers. I think the teachers would like it because it is something new to do.

Lauren- Get students who know how to use computers and teach teachers, No NS should not have to do that because all of the teachers know how to use the computers Katie- When the students help the teachers using computers, I think that North Schuylkill will need

Alicia- Teachers get students to teach them how to use computers. I think North Schuylkill needs this because some teachers don't know how to do most of the things on the internet.

Grood - Get students who can use computers to shows teachers how. No, I think many, if not all, of North Schuylkill's teachers know how to use a computer.

Yovany- Tech angles was for the students to teach the teachers how to use the computers, I think they should not have this because most of the teachers here know how to use the computers.

Rachel -It is when students help teachers. I think we need it,sometimes.

Winnie - The students can ask the teachers if they can help then with the computers or even learn about them.
