Wray is a Home Rule Municipality that is the county seat of Yuma County,
Colorado, United States. The population was 2,342 at the U.S. Census 2010.
During my time at Buchanan Middle School I taught both art classes, grades
5th-8th, and technology classes, grade five.
The Wray school district acquired iPads for each student, which allowed for a technology driven educational environment. This use of technology influenced my teaching style to include interactive and relevant teaching methods both in and outside of the art room.
