For technology, teachers can implement video games in the classrooms

Students with technology will engage in the video games and activities the
teachers have planned for them.
Its more hands on when it comes to integrating the technology with this

7. TEACHING FOR ME
Constructive teaching for me is what I would look forward to in a
classroom. The student can morph the lessons to something they can
understand by constructing their own processes of what they are
learni8ng in their head.
