My daughter, Ava, would love having you as an upper level teacher, Katie!  Keep rocking in your resource rooms!  And thank you for allowing special education students, who are already self-conscious of many aspects of their lives, the ability to have a voice in your classroom, and feel completely comfortable with using technology in your classroom!  You are awesome!
