 * Explain how the material you are presenting has either improved instruction or student achievement in your classroom or district**.

School technology fairs have increased teacher engagement in their instruction and student achievement and motivation. The challenge of the tech fairs promote showcasing students'/teacher's work in the classroom using technology and gives them the opportunity to learn it even more in-depth and to gain further recognition from the community, as well as receive awards for their school, classroom and themselves.
