I'm a teacher at a middle school. I teach technological education. My class is "high-tech", but I always try to make it "high-touch". My classroom is joyful most of the time with all kinds of tools and machines. In this room, we learn woodworking, electronics, programming and other skills that are needed to turn ideas into objects.

We also learn how to work as a team. These days. I am teaching my eighth graders to build robotic arms. On most days, things don't go as expected. I do my best to encourage the students to keep going, but their partners are often the best cheerleaders.
