The presentation should include the following:
A detailed description of each technology tool
An explanation of how each technology tool is useful for teaching to the geometry standards with specific examples
An explanation of how each technology tool can be used to differentiate instruction and assessments for students with disabilities
Presenters notes, title slide, and reference slide
