Integrating Ag Literacy and Technology with Administrative Support
How can you effectively integrate agriculture with technology and still meet all of your state standards? How can you create a strong hook to gain student interest and receive administrative support for your work? Mr. Brooks takes a balanced approach infusing agriculture into his English/Language Arts classes and other content areas while still meeting requirements of his district and state. Learn about the Maine Ag in the Classroom Book Barn Project and how students created book trailers, which incorporate reading, writing, speaking, and technology standards.
