===**Teachers need to stand back and analyze their teaching style to accommodate the different types of personalities and learning styles. It is only then that learning can begin. Teachers should hold high expectations from their students. Students value education when higher expectations are expected from them. When low expectations are expected students tend to give less because they feel lesser. **===

===**Technology has allowed teachers to enrich lessons and target students with different learning styles. Integrating technology into classroom instruction means more than just using basic computer skills or using the internet for personal use (http//www.edutopia.org/technology-intergration-introduction). **===

===**Technology should be used to enhance instruction. Technology permits students to visualize and model instruction. This concept allows students to be intellectually challenged. These tools provide them with a realistic view. **===

===**The focus is to address the different learning styles and accommodate the learner’s according to the students needs. A teacher can be more productive if the classroom is equipped with all the appropriate tools and equipment that are available to facilitate learning. Teachers need access to multimedia tools for integrating technology in instruction. **===
