Promethean Board- teacher and students. This was

appropriate because this gave the students a chance to
demonstrate what they have learned.
Activeinspire- teacher and students. Students that are
visual and kinesthetic learners will get to see where the
states are located and see them in reference to Maryland.
What technology was used? By whom? Why was this
appropriate technology to integrate?

Website- students. This was appropriate because all the

information that they needed would be easily found here.
The information on the website is displayed or organized in
a manner that would be understandable for fifth graders.
QR codes- teacher and students. This allowed the students
to be more involved by using another form of technology
and this way the answer (the state) wasnt given to them so
easily; therefore, they had to work a little harder.
