Exploring Hpe Teachers' Self-Efficacy Toward Technology Integration, Danielle Werner
Honors Projects
The digital age has specifically called on physical educators to enhance their instruction using various digital tools (Krause, 2017).

Differentiation In The Classroom Using Chromebooks And Google Applications, Allison Carney
Honors Projects
The purpose of this research was to differentiate using Chromebook and Google technology to improve engagement and grades in the classroom. Chromebooks have been implemented into classrooms all over the country, but the use of Google applications in order to differentiate instruction and assessment is not as prominent in schools. I created four assignments on the Chromebooks that differentiated instruction and assessment based on interest and ability levels. I used a total of six applications and differentiated for forty-four students in a sixth grade math and science classroom. I found that differentiating using Chromebooks and Google applications boosted student engagement, …

The Power Of Parody And Satire In The 21st Century English Classroom, Ashley N. Shelton
Honors Projects
A frequent question in today’s high school English classroom is how "the classics" fit into our 21st century curriculum. Students ask, "How is this relevant to me?" and complain that the literature they are reading in class is outdated and difficult to understand.

Based on emerging research in the education field, my project explains how modern technology and the techniques of parody and satire can …
